What a trip this book was…first and foremost: I didn’t love it as much as the first one but it’s still an amazing book nonetheless. Most annoying was def the interactions and the drama between Violet and Xaden…most if the time I didn’t even understand why she was mad or what her point was and it seemed as though she didn’t either. The whole „ask me“-thing annoyed me as hell! Like just tell her ?! Why make a „game“ out of it? I often also felt that the author made the reader miss out on a lot of their interactions and I felt like I missed out on much of the two of them together. This book was much more focused on Violet and her development as a character and a rider as well as her relationship with her friends, which I did like but I just wish there was also more Xaden in it. The fact that we only got one decent sex scene kinda disappointed me tbh but that’s just personal preference hahah. One thing I especially liked was Andarnas development and sassiness! I felt like she wasn’t as important in the first book but in this book she def was! And I love her so much! In conclusion I suppose we can all agree that the ending was heartbreaking and it def made me tear up but I don’t think all hope is lost. I‘m sure Violet will find some way as she always does.

This follow-up to "Fourth Wing" did not disappoint. It continued with non-stop action, twists and turns, and romance to make for terrific storytelling. It'll be hard to wait another year for the next book.

Super disappointed. Absolutely no more plot, it's messy, immature and focuses too much on the romantic interest for me. The random sex scene pull me out of the story (I skip them) and the pace is super slow for very little actual plot happening. I couldn't push myself to finish it; it was a significant downfall from the first book.

While I enjoyed the magic system, the dragons, and the lore in Iron Flame, I definitely found the cyclic arguing between the main characters to be repetitive. Also, Xaden’s story arc is giving Anakin vibes, and we don’t stan a self-righteous anti-hero who sacrifices sanity for… whatever he has for Violet.
