Iron Flame (The Empyrean, 2)

Audiobook listen. I. CAN’T. WAIT. TILL. ONYX. STORM. RIP Liam, except when Violet can see him while being tortured?! I still hate Dain, although admittedly not as much as in book 1. I’m totally here for moody Andarna, who is a very special dragon indeed. “My house. My chair. My woman.” 🌶️🔥⚡️ Okay Xaddy…

4.5, I felt like the middle of the book dragged and I struggled to stay engaged, the final 200ish pages were amazing though

I loved this book! The universe Rebecca Yarros has crafted is absolutely stunning. I share the sentiment that this could have been two books, but I don’t feel that the storyline was harmed by having it be one. The ending was another jaw dropper, and I am soooo happy I read this only a couple months before Onyx Storm is released…. I’d be spiraling if I had to wait much longer! I appreciate Yarros’ balance between foreshadowing and just bomb dropping, it is so exciting to be kept on your toes the entire read. The romantic development between the protagonists is beautiful and exotic all at once. I’m incredibly nervous for the emotional damage that will come from reading Onyx Storm, but I am so so so excited to see where Yarros takes us as we continue this series.

I have so many words and yet no words at all. I gagged, I screamed, I sobbed and I loveeee this freaking series. I need more please and thanks!

My first fantasy read as an adult and I really enjoyed it! I could do without the love makin parts, but overall great book!
