literaryrachael 's review for:

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
4.75

I will never emotionally recover from that cliffhanger. How am I supposed to make it until the next book when we don’t even have a release date yet 😭😭😭

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH! Violet and Xaden were perfect (even when they argued they were perfect). I loved all the side characters, but Sloane and Ridoc were my favorite. Cat and Mira really grew on me, too. 

The plot was overwhelming in the best way. I feel like every other sentence was a clue or a moment of foreshadowing and it all came together in the best way possible!

My only complaint is that the beginning took a while to pick up speed. I wouldn't usually make this complaint, but given that there isn't a time jump between the ending of Fourth Wing and the beginning of Iron Flame, I would have expected the pacing to be a little faster at the start.
