An amazing sequel to Fourth Wing, this book did not disappoint. No loss of pace, excitement, thrill, and wonderfully set up for the third!

This book was such a let down compared to book 1. Violet, girl, you gotta pull yourself together. Seriously. You chose Xaden. He told you he was going to keep things from you, he told you there would always be secrets, but you still decided to date him. STOP complaining about the secrets he is keeping from you!! Also Xaden and his bs of “I can’t tell her I love her right now because its bad timing, even though I secretly know she is insecure in our relationship and me saying it would mean so much to her, Im just gonna lock that away until the ~timing is right~.” Dude, you are in a war, the timing won’t be right. 

I liked book 1 so much better. If book 3 goes through the same miscommunication/ lack of communication and all the drama between Violet and Xaden I feel like I might have to DNF this series. Book 2 was written too fast and I would rather RY take her time and do it right then rush through it... Keeping my fingers crossed for book 3.

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
