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 Read more

  • A fantastic story with masterful use of technique, an intricate plot, and fascinating characters!
Iron Flame (The Empyrean Book 2) Kindle Edition by Rebecca Yarros (Author) I blame Anne McCaffrey for my love of dragons and their riders. Rebecca Yarros, Violet, Xaden, and their dragons had a lot to live up to, in fact, the entirety of Pern! And Ms. Yarros does live up to Ms. McCaffrey. Where, at times, the first book in the Empyrean felt like a young adult book that had spice added in to move it from the young adult shelf, Iron Flame is fully rooted in adult fantasy, with just the right amount of spice and the perfect measure of angst and pathos. The relationship between Violet and Xaden sits in the center of the story, but there is so much more. We have siblings with a reason for vengeance, a hidden royal heir, jealous love rivals, and a race for a magical solution. It's all in there. All of the feels and all of the tension. The only issue I had was that about ¼ of the book could have been shaved. In the realm of fantasy and fantasy romance, many authors seem to be in a race to see who can write the longest book. Yes, SJM, JLA, and now Ms. Yarros, I am looking at all of you. Apparently, they are all racing to take the tile of the biggest book away from the Giga Codex. That said, I am in love with the world that Ms. Yarros has created. It feels very concrete, as if I could smell the dust on the trails that the dragons and the griffins climb, the sweat under the flight leathers, and the spice of the lust that seems to be in the air. It is a real world, tangible, and fascinating. Ms. Yarros is the new queen of the Shadow Daddy (if you don't know, go look it up). Xaden is not morally grey, so much as he is morally flexible. He is willing to burn the world... heck, he'd burn the universe for Violet, but he is also full of honor and strength. Violet is not the paragon of virtue or the slightly insane fantasy heroine we are used to. She is very clearly, a fighter – not only of her very real enemies, but also the illness that she must overcome every day to be a rider. One of the stand out part of Iron Flame is the dialogue. Ms. Yarros is a master of using dialogue to move the story along and to further character development effortlessly. Unless the reader takes a step back from the story (which is as difficult as climbing Everest barefoot!), it isn't easy to see the masterful techniques she utitlizes. The plot,which at times (as I said before), is a bit overloaded, moves along as fast is possible in this height of book! To be completely honest, I received this book as a gift (the hardback) from the husband, and also borrowed it from KU when it was available, because I needed them both to finish. If Fourth Wing lived up to the hype, Iron Flame went beyond the hype into a completely different universe! Complete with a masterful use of technique, a beautifully built world, and an intricate woven plot, Iron Flame, in fact the entire Empyrean series, is a modern classic that will go down in literary history with the Lord of the Rings, the Dragon Riders of Pern, and the Witchworld stories. 4.75 stars out of 5 (a .25 deduction because some of the book could have been shaved) rounded up to 4 stars out of 5 ... show more

  • An Absolutely Epic Sequel
10/10—An Absolutely Epic Sequel! Rebecca Yarros has done it again! Iron Flame is everything I wanted and more. High stakes, nonstop action, emotional rollercoaster, and swoon worthy moments that had me screaming. If you thought Fourth Wing was intense, just wait until you dive into this one. Violet’s journey in Basgiath War College is more brutal than ever, and the tension between her and Xaden... Off the charts. The battles are giving, the betrayals cut deep, and the revelations left me absolutely SHOCKED. The character growth in this book is phenomenal, and the twists kept me glued to the pages. There was not a dull moment! I laughed, I cried, I gasped (more times than I can count), and I already need the next book ASAP. If you love dragons, enemies-to-lovers, heart-stopping action, and emotional rollercoasters, this series is MUST-READ. Easily a 10/10. Absolute perfection. #TeamXaden ... show more

  • Not as good as the first
There is something to be said about second books in a series, especially fantasy. The necessary world building and character development in book one flowed well, but was overall disappointing in book two. There were great moments and tense moments, but the ending fell flat to me. Been seen so many times before in other stories that it seems like a cliche honestly. Like it's a lame way to continue a series you don't want to just continue with as is. This wasn't a good twist for this story. As I understand why Yarros did it, it doesn't have the right effect on readers. I should be mad or angry but I just rolled my eyes thinking "been there... read that". No wonder some people dislike this book. The ending leaves me guessing what's next but also not really caring. The ending kind of ruined some character development for me. Looking for some much needed author redemption in the next book so I don't DNF the series honestly. The second book should be better than the first, but the end seemed forced to find a way to extend it. Part 1 of this book was amazing and had me crying at the end there... Part 2 was forced and slow at times and honestly annoying at times. It feels like someone else wrote Part 2, it just wasn't the same. ... show more
