I understand the many critiques of this book (perhaps unnecessarily long, with some plots that feel like they are simply there to cause drama; and fantasy readers, as opposed to romance readers, may not be as satisfied with the world building), but since reading the first book, Violet and Xaden just feel so real to me, and they wriggled their way into my heart. I’ll follow them on their journeys, whatever those paths look like (and I’ll love it. I’m definitely biased because this series made me fall in love with the romantasy genre to begin with).
I really enjoyed Iron Flame as a follow-up to Fourth Wing, but I do wish there were more spicy scenes (even though I love a good lead-up). This is 4 stars for me because I definitely love the first book more. I have mixed feelings about this author but am so connected to this world/protagonist and am really excited to see where this series goes in Onyx Storm. GAGGING!!!

Imagine a book that’s like a rollercoaster ride through a dragon-infested amusement park, with a side of emotional turmoil and a sprinkle of dark humor. That’s "Iron Flame" for you. This book is a wild mix of adventure, challenges, and a touch of the dark and emotional.
The characters? Oh, they’re lovable, diverse, and flawed in the best possible way. You’ll find yourself rooting for them, laughing with them, and maybe even shedding a tear or two. The pace is fast, so buckle up because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
And let’s not forget the themes – death, animal death, gore, and violence. It’s like a buffet of intense emotions and thrilling moments. But don’t worry, there’s also hope, inspiration, and a bit of lightheartedness to balance things out.
In short, "Iron Flame" is like that spicy dish you can’t get enough of – it burns, but you keep coming back for more. So, grab a copy, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
