A review by pencilknot
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

4.0

While the last book was a 4.5, this was around 3.8 - 4 stars. Oftentimes, several chapters seem to pass without much happening, and I felt that some plot lines dragged. I do like how Violet and Xaden's relationship developed and the increasing trust and communication they had with each other. All in all, this book was not as compelling as the first, but did well to continue with the story and had a few solid plot twists/final cliffhanger.

My main worry is that this slow, dragged on pace will continue as the series is set to have 5 books, although the current story seems like it would wrap up nicely in just 3 books. I look forward to seeing how this journey continues!
