Iron Flame

Like sblase I too have many thoughts and will be waiting until book club to discuss and write my review

ok editing my review (1 week later because I can't wait any longer to add this since this is quickly leaving my brain) so I can reference during book club:

This is the best terrible book I've read. The characters were insufferable and the world building was muddled and it should have been about 300 pages shorter. The writing was straight up not good. Violet is clearly a fantasized self insert so why did RY write her to be so insufferable? Nothing about this book felt thought out or defined, which is sad to me because I ate up book 1.

That being said, I did read this almost 900 page book in three days and was practically glued to my kindle. There were parts of it I absolutely loved, but the more I think about this book, the more i dislike it.
