I slogged, I trudged, I waded and I trod through this book and I had two questions at the end and they were 1. where did it all go wrong?, 2. Are you kidding me with that nosense ending?

I absolutely loved book one I found the plot strong, the characters amazing and it was fun and adventurous to read. Iron Flame not so much.

Violet and Xaden never got to finish a conversation, there were too many problems and half the time I was bored between the action. Why not for the hell of it throw in an old ...more

The chokehold that this book had and still has on me...It's gonna be a struggle not to slide into a reading slump after this.

I'm sorry, I was not a Fourth Wing enthusiast. Don't get me wrong...I very much enjoyed it in all aspects (it was a five star read), but I didn't seem to be as obsessed as the masses. It did not have a hold on me the way Iron Flame did. However, consider me obsessed now because with Iron Flame, it was a struggle to put it down when I needed to. It caused me to do something ...more
