Yarros masters the power of Cliffhangers once again

Dang, I’m conflicted While I was reading this book I thought it felt WAY too long, like a lot of the book could have been condensed. A lot happened in this book!! I went through phases of loving it and then being tired of it and then loving it again. After reading fourth wing I really wanted this book to get to the real story and action; this book really delivered that. I was debating whether to give this book 3 or 4 stars (I’d give 3.5 if that was an option), but I have to go with 4 because the ending was worth the sometimes difficult effort to get through the details of this book. I’m annoyed to say it, but the cliffhanger was so good I may just have to continue on and read the 3rd book.

Ok part 2!

Has much the same qualities and faults as the first one. Unoriginal and cheesy and yet I read it so damn quickly.

- You're telling me the brooding dark and mysterious handsome guy prefers the smart and shy protagonist in a black dress to his catty ex in vivid red who is literally called Kat and whose superpower is literally the ability to annoy people at will????

Der erste Teil „Fourth Wing“ hatte mich zwar nur mäßig begeistert, aber immerhin ausreichend, um mir auch den zweiten Teil auszuleihen. Dieses Hörbuch ist nun allerdings unverschämte 28 Stunden lang (und 17 Minuten, wenn man ganz genau ist). Wenn man sich das von der Bibliothek ausleiht, muss man damit rechnen, es nicht pünktlich vor dem Rückgabetermin fertig hören zu können. Ich hatte für die 28 Stunden nämlich nur 21 Tage Zeit. Aber: es lag ein unverplantes Wochenende vor mir, und mir fiel ein Trick ein.

Nach einigen Stunden Hörzeit fiel mir nämlich auf: Diese Geschichte läuft ab wie so eine Standard-Netflix-Serie vom Fließband. Sie läuft nebenher, und wenn man ab und zu etwas verpasst, ist das nicht allzu wichtig. Denn die meiste Zeit wird sich angeschmachtet, es wird gekämpft, böse geguckt, geblutet, gemordet, gevögelt und sich gestritten. Ich stellte also den Player auf 1,35-fache Geschwindigkeit, denn so konnte …

Slower than Fourth Wing

Another re-read in preparation for Onyx Storm. The writing and characters are on a par with Fourth Wing, and the juxtaposition of modern speech in a fantasy setting still amuses me, but a lot of what I enjoyed about the first book is missing.

I'm not a fan of the push and pull of the main relationship, some plot points are telegraphed strongly enough to make Violet seem dim, the characters are a bit more foolish, and it veers towards the ponderous at times.

Overall, the worst thing about Iron Flame is simply that it's less fun than Fourth Wing.

I laughed way to much reading this book

This is a book that I just wanted to continue reading to figure out what's going to happen next. The story is well paced and it even includes some down time moments between the actions which is greatly appreciated. The writing is on point and there are quite a few moments where what a character does and says just makes me smile and laugh.

Review of 'Iron Flame' on 'Goodreads'

Oof. This book is a lot of things, and most of all it is extremely overhyped. Yes, the premise and the worldbuilding are pretty cool. The dragons are frickin' awesome and are, tbh, the only thing that make this book really worth reading. But to get to that part, you will have to wade through 500 pages of very tedious high school-esque drama, aka the neverending Violet-Xaden vicious circle of cringeworthy discussions loaded with sexual tension that end in nothingness. Honestly, by the third time I reached a chapter of them kinda-but-not-really talking and just getting horny, I started skimming these parts of the book, because I just couldn't bear it anymore. Also, that ending is a whole new kind of WTF and has me wonder if the last book will just turn everything on its head again.

It could have been an excellent book, if only it had 300 …

Enjoyable continuation of this Romantasy series. I really enjoyed the fact that we got a bit more of the strong female protagonists I was hoping for in Fourth Wing, and that the “political drama” got more intriguing as well. Good read and I look forward to a third installation when/if it is released.

Review of 'Iron Flame' on 'Goodreads'

Part one is a slog. Picks up in Part Two. They’re not good books, but they’re fun, enjoyable books.

My biggest issue being that the writing feels anachronistic at times. It’s not clear what time the book is set in, but I really don’t think anyone in whatever time it is would says “what the actual fuck”

The ex-Mormon-learning-to-swear energy isn’t as strong in this book though. I’ll definitely keep reading the series.
