Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. I was so nervous it was going to be more of a filler book because the first was so action packed and I was worried this wouldn’t keep me as enticed. I was relieved to find that not be the case. This story does provide more insight into the history and lore of the characters and the world, while I know that can be frustrating at times and feel like an info dump, this did not. It developed characters and plot very well. I felt all the all the emotions from tears, anger, betrayal, happiness, surprise, and humor. Oh and anxiety, this kept me on my toes in quite a few chapters. Fourth Wing had more spice for those curious… at least I feel like it did. This didn’t need it to hold its ground as a great book. Rebecca has a really great mind for storytelling and I am excited to see what the next book will show us. I know like many I too was at the end like “what in the world did I just read?!” I’m still processing the story and I can’t keep my mind from going back into that world.
