Iron Flame is definitely written better than Fourth Wing, but it's still not saying much. The storyline of the trilogy (I've finished it all) COULD BE amazing... if it was written by someone else. I've never wanted to mail an author a thesaurus as bad in my life as I do with Rebecca Yaros. Like, c'mon. There are hundreds of thousands of ways to describe someone smiling or frowning other than their lips curving up or down.
I did like the twist at the end, ultimately.
All in all, I love that Violet doesn't let her EDS/brittleness get her down and fights so hard to prove herself. She is a very respectable character, easily one of my favorites. But the rest of it... blah.
