Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

Published on September 23, 2024November 27, 2024 by Celeste6 Comments

Today’s review is about IRON FLAME by Rebecca Yarros. This is the second book in The Empyrean series, so naturally my review contains spoilers for the first book. I’m happy I finally read this sequel…it only took me almost a year to do so, mainly because I got irritated seeing it all over the place. I read it on my own time and happy I did so. Onward to the review!
