Callie :p Guys I just caught my old man substitute teacher reading Iron Flame Iron Flame


Zainab Saad YOU SHOULDVE ASKED IF HES MENTALLY RECOVERED SINCE LIAMMM
im still upset...


Slaypleton I just wrote my review on Fourth Wing and the TLDR is it's a no for me, which is a shame because I wanted to love it.


Molly Fourth wing is legit the best book I have read. But omg Liammmmm like why did she do this to us


Alison Fletcher Fourth wing was the second fantasy book I’ve ever read and it was the best book. I have never recovered though with Liam, I'm still heartbroken!!!


Keshimoto Not worth the read


Adrija Das Absolutely worth the read I loved the slow burn. Xaden could just be standing and I would be screaming internally. And violet or violence(may I say😉) was freaking badass women I loved the way her character developed through the challenges. I hate dain with everything in me. And the dragons in this books are soooooooooo good. Whatever I like in a book is there... enemies to lovers? Yes! Misunderstood arrogant shadowy main lead? Yes!! Strong female lead? Yup! The slow I want you but can't have you moments? Hell yes!! Plot twist? Yes darling the last page ;) and did I cried? Yes (liam is freaking loved him)

Girliepop, this ain’t a slow burn


Badkicker Fourth Wing is bad, the sequels manage to get even worse somehow.

The general discussion around it reminds me of the emperor's new clothes where everyone plays pretend, while a big heap of sh*t sits in broad daylight for everyone to see


Lacey This was one of the best books I have read in a long time after ACOTAR. The romance and suspense of the build up is unmatched !!


Eleasah H This series surprised me. It made me think about anime.

I agree with you. It really gave me ACOTAR vibes.

I like how it ends just after a battle of a war each time. I can see where Bad kicker is coming from. If you ignore the stories progression and look at it as outline of events it does get a bit repetitive. There is a pattern, However, Rebecca Yarros clearly is committed to her world and characters. So, it doesn't seem as obvious and the different POV's help. I just hope the series concludes in a positive way and I am guessing here but I think Violet will get pregnant and have a child or children that will hopefully *Spoiler alert save the day.

Yh I do agree though I think if you look at it from a literary standpoint, its not exactly peak fiction. Im not an avid reader but have picked up more books because of how entertaining i find books like fourth wing. The tropes are so fun and as much as people will diss characters like violet and the dialogue, you really do fall in love with some of the characters. That being said, the later books havent been amazing to me bc of what you say - got repetitive, and i feel the story progression slowed in iron flame.

Pae Evergreen I didn't like it at all, it was one of the first books I read and I thought it was good until I read more books and realized how bad the writing is and it just became one of the books that I don't like

Maryam Laroussi Fourth wing is one of the books that instantly drags you into that world instantly . Best fantasy book I have read so far . I am not a spice reader so I had to skip the 2 intense parts but that is fine. I just finished the book and I may be starting Iron flame very soon .
