Awesome book! I saw a girl on tiktok silently review Iron Flame like this: " 😱😱😴😱😴😱😴😱😱😱" and she's exactly right lol. In my opinion, the pacing was not the best, as there were parts during the middle of the book that felt boring. Rebecca is very good at writing action-packed or tense scenes, but the parts in between were somewhat lacking IMO. So when it got good, it was GOOD. I loved the characters, the world-building, the plot, the ending, everything. This is why I give it the rating I did. I think Fourth Wing was a slightly stronger book overall, but IF follows closely behind. Looking forward to the next book. 💗
