Reviews with content warning for Murder - Iron Flame

There was good and bad to this book.

The first half was so good and kept my attention. The second half just dragged on and on and on. Right up until the battle scene.

The smut scenes were fantastic. I do wish there had been more, but it wouldn’t have been anything more than crowd pleasing so what was there was perfect.

I loved that Andarna became a moody little teenager. It added a bit of humor.

Cat as a character was exhausting. Her only point was to stir the pot with Violet.

The whole thing with the ward… I’m not entirely sure how they got it going. I may have glossed over that a bit. I also don’t get the iron flame title.

Also the end with Xaden as venin… made no sense.

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!
