After reading Rebecca Yarros' book one Fourth Wing of the Empyrean series, I couldn't help myself but must find and read book two Iron Flame. If book one was exciting for you, this book is way more surprising than ever. It's emotionally and sexually intense,  and there's a lot of mystery, drama and suspense, literally in every chapter. Page after page I couldn't stop reading, so much intrigue. If you don't have anything to do this is it, a movie in a book, dragon world made real. All in one. You will definitely lose your mind and seat. You will find yourself panting and breathless, and wanting for more of that adrenaline rush Vi is having. Definitely a must read but not for kids. Totally chaotic, fun and I need book three now!

Spoilers ahead

I’ve just finished reading in the middle of the night. It definitely can hold up with Fourth Wing but I was a bit frustrated with Iron Flame.

Violet and Xaden didn’t really grew character wise, they fought and were stubborn throughout the whole book and that annoyed me so much. Xaden’s way too overprotective and Violet can’t see past any mistakes and blames herself for everything that went wrong in Resson, in Aretia and with the wards failing. I felt like any scenes with them fighting just slowed down the plot unnecessarily. 
The plot in itself was really well thought out and written and the ending left me here in tears, just like every time Violet hallucinated Liam. I didn’t expect Lilith to sacrifice herself at all or Xaden turning Venin, just to keep Violet alive.


Even though it didn’t capture me like Fourth Wing did, I still think Iron Flame is a fantastic read and I  can’t  believe I have to wait 4 months for Onyx Storm and suffer from not knowing what happens next
