A review by coffeedrops
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

adventurous tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

I would easily rate the book 4.75 or even 5 if only Violet didn't complain all the fucking time and if the book wasn't as slow. I feel bad for Xaden, the guy never gets a break. I was under the impression that the story was going to end in this book but seems like it's planned to be a 5 book long series, which seems excessive. I would understand another book maybe, but how does Yarros plan on continuing the story for another 3 books? I have no idea so I guess I can only wait and see. Fourth Wing became one my most favorite books as soon as I read it but this book felt very lacking and Violet was a crybaby throught the whole thing. Hoping it'll get better in the next books.
