Iron Flame
HOLY MOLY! So many emotions with this book.
Iron Flame is the second installment in The Empyrean series, following Violet and Xaden as they navigate war, love, and power. I enjoyed seeing more of Violet's squad mates and their growing bonds and faith in one another. I LOVED Tarin and Andarna, as usual, and some answers about the story.
What I loved:
Tairn and Andarna's snarkiness
Squad goals (Sawyer, Ridoc, and Rhiannon)
"My house. My chair. My woman."
I will be honest, Fourth Wing is still my favorite of the series. I felt like Iron Flame took a little to get going, and I was frustrated that Violet and Xaden kept having the same argument over and over again. Plus, I wanted to punch Cat in the face every time she was in a scene. Although, I think that is the reaction we all had and what Yarros was hoping for. HA!
Finally, that ending. WHY!? HOW!? WHAT!? Yarros is so cruel to leave us like that. I have no words.
