Some sequels make you fall right back into the story. This one made me wait for it. Iron Flame felt like one long build-up. Not in a bad way exactly, because I never fully disconnected from it—but I also never fully felt in it the way I did with the first book. The pacing just felt slower, mo

Iron Flame book review
My question for you is not going to be, “What did you think of this story,” but instead, if you did not care for Fourth Wing/Iron Flame, what book would you recommend instead? If you thought Fourth Wing was poorly written (more specifically, prose-wise), what is a book you think is written better?

Book Review: Iron Flame
3.5/5 ⭐️ I really do love the world that Yarros has built in this series. The characters are great, and the parts of her story that are heavy on pushing the plot forward are some of her best writing. But you could tell that this book was definitely rushed compared to Fourth Wing, which is Yarros
