Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston

5.0

This is one of those books where I wonder: "Why did I wait so long to read it?" Thankfully, at time of reviewing, the sequel is being shipped to me so the wait won't be too long. Which is good because I NEED ANSWERS!! This whole book was a fun ride from start to finish, even if the ending got really, REALLY dark and the cliffhanger was palpable.

The story and world-building were unique and a lot of fun. I liked the details, such as the oaths and certain sayings. There were also plenty of plot twists and actions that kept my breathless and needing to know what happened next.

I also loved all of the characters. Everyone was layered, and for the most part I enjoyed them. Robb and Ana had their flaws, but I understood them and recalled that they were acting the way teenagers were supposed to act. My favourite characters were of course Siege and Jax. I absolutely adore them and want to see more of them. The romances happened quickly, but I was fond of the tenderness and drama of them.

And again, the cliffhanger was dark and brutal and is making me crave the sequel. I had so much fun reading this book and am eagerly awaiting its sequels arrival. A must read for all YA sci fan fans!
