booknerdcoco 's review for:

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
4.5
adventurous challenging emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Entertaining read, however, i didn't think it was as good as the first instalment, Fourth Wing.

The themes of the book were much darker than Fourth Wing, but I felt that the storyline was a natural extension and is a good build-up to book number 3.

The ending was really sad for me, and I am really eager to find out what happens with Xaden.

Xaden felt a little more flat in this story than in Fourth Wing, but it didn't detract that much from the story as he wasn't as prominent for the most part.

Plot 4/5
Spice 2.5/5
Book boyfriend: 3.5/5
