Aunque eso signifique tener que guardar un secreto tan peligroso que podría destruirlo todo.

Navarre necesita un ejército. Necesita poder. Necesita magia. Y necesitará algo que solo Violet puede encontrar: la verdad.

Pero una tormenta se aproxima… y no todos sobrevivirán a su …

It was alright

4 stars

This is a tough book to review. I really enjoyed the first two, with the Violet and Xaden drama getting old pretty early on into Iron Flame. But this book it was unbearable. The characters did poke fun at it a bit which was nice, but it still continued and was a real drag on the story.

The story was well done and had some good twists I wasn’t expecting to see, and there were some truly heart wrenching moments.

spoilers ahead

Quinn’s death made me cry, which I wasn’t expecting. A lot of the character deaths in this series had been not a huge deal, but this was so well done it hit me hard.

Andarna leaving was super sad and I felt for her in that whole conflict, that part was really well done.

The ending with Xaden leaving and Violet married to him was good but also super obvious.

The smut got dull, every scene boiled down to “oh man I want to but if I do I might lose control and kill you. Oh well let’s try”.

The narrator also didn’t do it for me. They made everything super intense, even scenes that were supposed to be soft and caring she just yelled through them, which was frustrating. I think if I had read the book instead of listened I would have enjoyed the book more.
