Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
1.5
I feel gracious with this 2 star honestly it feels more like a 1.5 and the whole reason it’s not a flat 1 is I still have read worse. I had already read the first one and wasn’t a fan but I went in open minded to the 2nd thinking maybe it was better. I’m so thankful I borrowed the book and didn’t buy it because it was tough. I’ve never DNF a book and I almost gave up and did. I literally drug myself across the finish line.
I fell asleep reading it… THREE TIMES. Once even during the ‘big’ battle scene
The plot was enough in the first book to kinda be the saving grace. It fell flat in this one. The main characters somehow feel even worse this round. The side characters being the saving grace. The writing still flat and dull. Just overall not an enjoyable read.
I saw someone refer to this series as trash tv. Something mindless to devour and enjoy for a moment but easy to forget about in the future. I will say I feel like they aren’t far off I just wish I could have enjoyed it as much as it was hyped up.
