My Thoughts

After reading FOURTH WING, I needed to read IRON FLAME. Now that I’m done with both and the next book in the series isn’t out until January, I’m wondering why I read these kinds of books before the whole series is out. Waiting is going to be torture.

IRON FLAME was excruciating to read because of the non-stop suspense and action. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time wondering how it was all going to go down. I loved that Yarros foreshadowed the ending, making it not quite as shocking to me as it was to some, but still just as upsetting. Why, Yarros, why?!

I love the characters in this series. I also love Violet’s dragons. Tairn reminds me of my late Daxi-cat who was just as grumpy but still lovable. I love Andarna SO much. I loved her “adolescent” attitude, her interactions with Violet and especially Tairn, and her fierce loyalty to Violet despite her youth. Andarna had me laughing out loud most of the time she was on the page. I also loved learning more about its lore and mythology. Honestly, if I could only read one type of story for the rest of my life, it would be this.
