The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.” ―Xaden Riorson Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. 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. 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. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end. The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book 1 Fourth Wing Book 2 Iron Flame Book 3 Onyx Storm Read more

  • Fire and blood: a love story of epic proportions.
Format: Audiobook
📖 Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros ★★★★★ In the hollow aftermath of turning the final page, I sit with the beautiful wreckage of what Rebecca Yarros has done to my soul. Iron Flame doesn't merely continue a story—it carves itself into your bones, leaving echoes that reverberate long after you've set the book down. The evolution of Violet Sorrengail haunts me still. No longer just surviving, she now chooses her path with a fierce intentionality that transforms her fragility into something formidable. Her journey isn't just about physical strength but emotional fortitude—the kind that blooms in darkness, that knows pain intimately and chooses to stand anyway. Through her eyes, we witness the cost of becoming, and it is gloriously, devastatingly human. And Xaden. Oh, Xaden. His complexity deepens like a shadow at dusk, revealing layers that both terrify and captivate. When he says, "I'm not sweet or soft or kind, and you fell anyway. This is what you get, Violet—me. The good, the bad, the unforgivable. All of it. I am yours," it resonates not as romantic fantasy but as raw confession. Their relationship breathes with authenticity—messy, magnetic, maddening in its truth. What makes Iron Flame transcendent is how it refuses simple morality. The lines between right and wrong blur into watercolors of gray, asking us not who is good or evil, but what price we're willing to pay for what we believe. Every character stands at this precipice, making choices that ripple through the narrative like stones cast into still water. Andarna emerges as a brilliant counterpoint to the darkness, her cleverness and heart providing moments of light when the shadows threaten to consume. She isn't just Violet's dragon but a character coming into her own power, reminding us that strength wears many faces. If there's a flaw in this diamond, it's that the relentless pace occasionally steals moments that deserve more breath, more space to fully absorb their weight. Some revelations come so quickly that their emotional impact doesn't fully land before we're swept into the next storm. Yet even this feels intentional—a mirror of Violet's world, where pause means vulnerability, where reflection is a luxury rarely afforded. The book demands you keep up or be left behind, much like Basgiath itself. Iron Flame doesn't just continue a story, it elevates it. It transforms what could have been simply entertainment into something that feels necessary, vital. It leaves you hollow not from emptiness but from having been filled to breaking with something too vast to contain. 📦 What to Expect ✨ Epic Fantasy 💖 Slow Burn Romance 🔥 Grumpy/Sunshine Dynamic 🤯 Complex Politics & Power Struggles 💔 Deep Emotional Growth 🦴 Magical Beasts or Sentient Magic ⚔️ A Lead Who Fights for More Than Survival 📚 Book Tags Keywords: Dark Fantasy, Magic, Romance, Political Intrigue, Found Family, Survival, War Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Enemies to Reluctant Allies, Found Family, Mentor/Protegé, Slow Burn, Power Couple Triggers: Slavery, Violence, War Themes, Grooming (discussed), Sexual Assault (mentioned, not shown), Emotional Abuse, PTSD 🎯 Final Thoughts Some books entertain. Some books transport. Iron Flame transforms. It asks not just what you would die for, but what you would live for—broken, scarred, and still standing. This isn't just fantasy; it's poetry written in fire and blood. ... show more

  • "Love, betrayal, unexpected plot twists, new friends..."
Format: Hardcover
I still haven't reviewed Fourth Wing, but decided to go ahead and write this one while the story was still fresh on my mind. I was already late to the game with this series, but I put myself on the waiting list for an audiobook at my library as soon as I was able to after falling in love with these characters during Fourth Wing. Additionally, Rebecca Soler is one of my absolute favorite narrators and she does an amazing job with this series. Yarros not only makes me fall in love with Violet and Xaden, but every secondary character is beloved as well. Losing any of them would be devasting to my heart, so that final battle in Iron Flame had my pulse racing right along with Violet's. I was already worried about finishing the book since everyone said they literally stared at a wall for 20 minutes afterwards, but I still wasn't expecting the cliffhanger we're left with. Haven't we been through enough by now? I will say that I didn't like how long it took Violent and Xaden to work through their issues. A lack of communication between characters is a huge turn off for me in books, especially when they're romantically involved. Violet knew who he was before she fell in love with him, yet she made demands and put expectations on him that were a bit unfair. She didn't completely trust him because he wouldn't tell her everything, but everyone in this series has secrets, including her. She kept demanding total honesty and full disclosure despite other lives being at risk if she knew. Yarros managed to address these issues in a way that wasn't cringeworthy, so at least that aspect of the book was tolerable and didn't ruin everything else for me. The dragons are still my favorite part of these books. I love their sarcasm and menacing attitudes, especially when directed towards their own riders. Their personalities are perfection. Adolescent Adarna is an absolute delight to read about, and her getting on Tairn's nerves never fails to make me smile. I'm really happy we learned more about them in Iron Flame because so much is still a mystery. Love, betrayal, unexpected plot twists, new friends and frenemies, dragons and gryphons, riders and flyers, war, loss - Iron Flame has all that and more. I highly recommend this series if you enjoy fantasy and fast-paced adventure stories. (★★★★★) ... show more

  • Solid second book in a great series
Format: Kindle
Iron Flame is a solid second book in the series—but wow, it is slower than Fourth Wing. That said, the slower pace felt purposeful. The world-building was necessary and helped answer many of the lingering questions I had after the first book. I really enjoyed learning more about the larger world beyond Basgiath, especially the introduction of the griffin riders and the realization that things are not as they originally seemed. The shifting perspectives on the war added depth, and the venin continue to be fantastic, truly threatening enemies that raise the stakes in a big way. While this book leans more into politics, strategy, and emotional tension than nonstop action, it lays important groundwork for what’s to come. And just when the pacing feels the heaviest, the ending completely delivers. That twist had me on the edge of my seat and immediately desperate for the third book. I could not wait to see what would happen next. Overall, Iron Flame may be slower, but it’s a necessary and impactful bridge in the series—one that makes the anticipation for the next installment even stronger. ... show more
