A review by lizzyjensenn
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
3.5
I loved the way the story progressed but the writing was hard to follow. I feel like Ms. Yarros DOES NOT explain information enough times for the reader to get it. I had to stop and say “wait what” and go back to reread shit like fifteen times. Please do better 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I feel like Violet’s character was somehow worse for me in this book. Since when has she been so obsessed with the truth? That was not something established about her in the first book so it felt like a bad plot device in this one. Her fights with Xaden were so fucking dumb and pointless. They annoyed me a lot hahaha. I also HAAAAATED the Cat plotline. Not because she was a bitch to Violet but because it felt so stupid. Like I was just so annoyed with Violet’s whole insecurity fight in this book. Again, it did not feel established in the first book so I was just CONFUSED.
Anyways. Love Andarna tho. She’s my queenie. The first book was better by miles.
