⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 Stars 

Dragons! I mean…I’m always going to love returning to Basgiath War College. I was hooked, I read this so fast and I cannot wait for book 3! ⚔️

It doesn’t beat Fourth Wing. The plot and pace was superior in book 1, but I just loved being back with all the characters in Iron Flame. 📖

The side characters carried this book, I loved the bonds that were formed. I would kill for more Tairn and Andarna too, they were hilarious. 🐲

For me, Violet and Xaden lost a bit of their charm - particularly Xaden (possibly because he spent so much time away). I know we’re not waiting for them to get together now…but the miscommunications seemed forced? They were solid in book 1. 💖

I LOVED the fight scenes, the action and the intense scenes in this book. The addition of the fliers and griffins was so cool! Just need more dragon time plz 🫰🏻
