I’ve just finished reading in the middle of the night. It definitely can hold up with Fourth Wing but I was a bit frustrated with Iron Flame.
Violet and Xaden didn’t really grew character wise, they fought and were stubborn throughout the whole book and that annoyed me so much. Xaden’s way too overprotective and Violet can’t see past any mistakes and blames herself for everything that went wrong in Resson, in Aretia and with the wards failing. I felt like any scenes with them fighting just slowed down the plot unnecessarily.
The plot in itself was really well thought out and written and the ending left me here in tears, just like every time Violet hallucinated Liam. I didn’t expect Lilith to sacrifice herself at all or Xaden turning Venin, just to keep Violet alive.
Even though it didn’t capture me like Fourth Wing did, I still think Iron Flame is a fantastic read and I can’t believe I have to wait 4 months for Onyx Storm and suffer from not knowing what happens next
