#Easy writer 4th edition series#

Violet is just as strong and determined as she was in Fourth Wing, but in Iron Flame, we see the toll everything takes on her. Violet internally struggled a lot more in this book by bottling up her emotions, distancing herself from her friends, and taking on too much responsibility (like researching the wards). I do wish she wasn't away for half the story though. And Andarna is the sassiest bitch in the realm. These characters are some of my favorites and need to be protected at all costs.

I love this phase of a long series because there's still so much we don't know or understand, and I can't wait to see everything unfold and come together in the next few books. We now have a solid idea on what's really happening on the continent, however, there's still so many unanswered questions about the past (before the unification), the venin, and the Empyrean. Like I said, this story is non-stop and that includes uncovering new information about the history and politics of this world. The continued world-building is fascinating. I'm glad I took detailed notes because I've already forgotten a lot and I know I'll need to refer to them before starting book 3. There's 623 pages total, and I genuinely felt like I read two books because so much happens. Part one takes place at Basgiath War College and part two focuses on the Revolution. ⁠ The story is action-packed from start to finish, so you'll never want to put this book down. So, even though I'm giving it 4-stars, this was probably a 3.5 star book and I've just bumped up my rating a little because of my emotional reaction at the ending. This book is really hard for me to rate because while I enjoyed the story and the ending, there were a lot of technical (plot/character) issues that definitely hindered my overall enjoyment. 😭īut will I continue the series? Abso-f*cking-lutely! ⁠ ⁠How dare Rebecca do this to us, knowing we have to wait god knows how long for book 3. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get this book out of my head, all because of those last 25 pages. It's been one week since I finished Iron Flame and I am still unwell. ✨ TW: physical torture, imprisonment, brutal injuries, perilous situations, blood, dismemberment, burning, murder, death, grief, ow drama. ✨ established romance (but they're stubborn idiots)

It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.Īlthough Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits-and a will of iron. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
