🌟 Intro: Back to Basgiath – Are We Ready?!

Y’all, Fourth WingĀ had the entire book world in a chokehold, so you know Iron FlameĀ had some insane expectations. Rebecca Yarros dropped this sequel like it was HOT (literally), promising more dragons, more drama, and even higher stakes. So… did it deliver, or was it all hype? Let’s get into it. šŸ‘€šŸ”„

šŸ‰ The Plot: Violet’s Back and She’s Got Problems (Again)

Violet Sorrengail thought she had problems before? LOL, girl, think again. Now that she knows the truthĀ about Navarre and the rebellion, she’s juggling secrets, shady alliances, and a literal war brewing outside the wards.

But WAIT—there’s more! Add in a sadistic new professor, an angsty teenage dragon, and Xaden (who is both the bestĀ and worstĀ at the same time), and Violet’s second year at Basgiath is looking rough AF. šŸ˜¬šŸ’”

With trust issues, heartbreak, and some wild battles ahead, the real question is: can she survive? And more importantly—is this book even better than the first?!Ā šŸ”„

šŸ’” What Iron FlameĀ Does Right (And Where It Crashes and Burns)

āœ” Dragons Galore – If Fourth WingĀ didn’t have enough fire-breathing chaosĀ for you, this one kicks it up a notch. The stakes? HIGHER. The action? WILDER.Ā šŸ²šŸ”„ āœ” Violet’s Glow-Up – She’s tougher, smarter, and even more chaotic, but that’s what makes her so funĀ to follow. šŸ‘ āœ” Fast-Paced Madness – At nearly 800 pages, you’d think this book would drag (pun intended), but it moves FAST. Buckle up. āœˆļø

āš ļø Where It Fails the Vibe Check:

  • Editing? Hello?? – This book came out TOO fastĀ and it shows. Repetitive convos, clunky world-building, and a whole lotta unnecessary filler. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

  • Predictable AF – If you can spot twists chapters before they happen, are they even twists?? šŸ¤”

  • Main Character Plot Armor – This world is supposed to be deadly, but let’s be real… only the background characters are actually at risk. šŸ’€

šŸ“– Final Take: Worth the Read or Nah? šŸ¤”

Listen, Iron Flame deliversĀ on the action, but the pacing is messy, the editing is questionable, and some stakes feel fake. If you’re already riding the Empyrean hype train, you’ll probably vibe with this one too. But is it betterĀ than Fourth Wing? Ehh… the jury’s still out. Will I be back for book three? Probably. But PLEASE, someone let Yarros edit first.Ā šŸ¤ž
