I generally really liked this book. However, if I were to give it a critique, it would definitely be in the romance area. I found our two main characters to be a bit insufferable at times. Particularly in tense scenes, the way Violet would think about him just honestly pissed me off. Like get your mind out of the gutter for 10 seconds so you can save your friends and yourself please.

I said I wouldn’t read the second book if a specific character died, but luckily that character was not killed off… So I guess I’ll be reading the second book lol

I actually dislike this narrators performance. I enjoyed the book, but fucking hell this narrator should have been replaced. Reread for Onyx Storm but can't reread Iron Flame after realizing how awful this narrator is.

Reading this book in graphic audio was the best thing ever!! I don’t think I can ever read it any other way!! Not only do you get to read the emotions of the characters, but you get to hear them too! Everything is more impactful in graphic audio; from the fights, to the smutty scenes, to the very sad moment at the end that destroys us all! I love everything about it!!

I picked up this book because it was at the top of the Amazon epic fantasy bestseller list. That was a mistake. It’s fantasy romance which is not what I was looking for. I’m not denigrating the genre; it’s just not my thing.

As an epic fantasy—which is how I’ll grade this as it’s how I found it—this book is lacking in character depth and world building. There’s only two or three characters that feel like real people and they’re in a lust triangle and everything in the world feels entirely too convenient.

There are also some odd stylistic choices like having everyone speak in modern vernacular which was a bit off putting.
