I really struggled to finish this. The first book was so good- but Iron Flame takes a nosedive early on and just keeps falling hard. I had to remind myself these characters are in their 20's; the angst made me picture 16 year olds wearing the blackest of eyeliner (even the guys). There are redeeming moments, especially at the end, but overall the book is disappointing compared to the first.
