If Fourth Wing hooked me, Iron Flame completely wrecked me in the best way. The pacing was just as intense, and Violet’s growth kept me glued to the pages.
I honestly didn’t expect it, but I actually liked

Dain’s redemption arc

. After hating him so much before, it was kind of nice seeing him step up.

Lilith’s death

shocked me, and the emotions around it hit hard. 

And those twists with

Xaden and Andarna

at the end? I screamed. I still don’t know how to process it.
