i liked iron flame SO MUCH BETTER than the first book. the most annoying parts (aka violet being the smallest and more fragile and teeniest and shortest and weakest and did i mention smallest) of the first book chilled out a lot in this book, and she really leaned into the idea of violet being sick/ill, which i enjoyed

the sexual scenes still felt a little out of place for me, but i can deal with that

. Rebecca is soooo great at writing combat scenes

and the final scenes of the book actually made me sob so hard, i could feel the desperation that violet was feeling

. Overall I liked this so much more than the first, and cant wait for the third!
