serenstar 's review for:
Iron Flame
by Rebecca Yarros
medium-paced
Iron flame had all the potential to build on the first book, and I really wanted to like it. But I found it a slog to get through. The pacing felt off, with long stretches where nothing of consequence seemed to happen, and my attention kept slipping.
Character development was minimal, and the relationships that should have deepened stayed surface-level. I stopped caring when yet another undeveloped character was killed off. The lack of meaningful world building made it hard to invest in the stakes or care about the larger conflict.
Overall it felt like a missed opportunity, and by the end I was more relieved to be done than eager for the next installment.
