Publisher's summary

“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. 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.

Narration is weird

The story is great! Love the book but would probably enjoy it more if I just read it instead of listened to the Audio book. The narrator makes everything sound like an epic battle is about to happen, even if she’s just talking about being hungry. It’s weird.

Obsessed !

Loved every minute of this book! The story was great and kept me on my toes. I personally did not love the narrating in the previous book but I feel like Rebecca solar improved in iron flame. I definitely recommend!

Loved every second

First and foremost, HUGE credit to the narrator. The sheer intensity she put into this performance was masterful. Easily the most compelling audiobook performance I’ve ever experience.

And the story itself: a huge step up from the first book.

Holy moly!!! Amazing!

I am blown away! I didn’t think I’d love this book as much as the first cuz the sequel is never as good but this just blew my mind! I am completely at a loss for words. Story/plot is fantastic. It’s action packed and spicy and I loved seeing the character development and also meeting the newbies. But let me tell you…. Twist after twist after twist. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Highly recommend this one!

Great sequel

I found fourth wing to be predictable (not in a way that ruined it for me) but was blown out of the water with this one. Even things I mildly predicted I was off with how it would be executed. Very happy with this and can’t wait for the next one!

HOLY MOLY GUACAMOLY

I thought Fourth Wing was good but damn RY really put her entire soul into this book. Iron Flame was a rollercoaster of emotions with insane plot twists. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! RY needs to give us book 3 immediately.
