I feel like you all would truly appreciate this text message from someone who I got ADDICTED to Iron Flame! 🔥 😂 #bookproblems #addicted #iykyk
pickAHHH how are you going to give me an ending like that and then EXPECT ME TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK?! This series has quickly joined the list of favorites I seem to keep finding lately.
Mira's reaction to finding everything out....honestly fair. I honestly expected her to hurt Violet along with Brennan.....or at least scream at.
panWhat can I say that hasn‘t been said ?? Not a lot , it‘s over long badly needed a good edit a great story is in there somewhere but my goodness reading this was like wading through treacle! Some moments of intrigue and page turning but not many. Again as other reviewers have said 2nd & last part was the best. Very disappointed and it seemed to take me ages to read it & yet a ken follet book of double the length I skipped through in a week !
pickI truly enjoy this series. It has brought back my love of reading
pickOuch 😔. Rebecca truly has so much power to shatter me with her writing and she does not miss the opportunity. Great story nonetheless and I can only hope my heart mends in the next book. This book made me feel love, anger, jealousy, sadness, grief, empowerment, bravery, and more. I have grown attached to each of the characters and I can't wait to see how the story continues to develop until reaching a much needed peace.

Here. Be happy, be excited, get mad, be heartbroken and completely wrung out by the end. But also dragons. And now you have to wait.
😭😠🥰🔥🥹🐉 #recentlyread #wtf #sendhelp
Back from the sun & straight into autumn 🍂 🥶 cosy scenes on YouTube & a duvet day with pots of coffee ☕️ and puppy dogs 🐶 holiday laundry 🧺 is calling 😣🫨 one more chapter 😆
Oh my god I adore the graphic audio of this series so much! Even after a second trip through this book, I am so torn and even confused about General Sorrengail‘s sacrifice. Jack‘s crazy laughter at the end is truly terrifying. The graphic audio is intense and wonderful. I NEED book 3 even more after listening to this.

No one remembers this when they produce theories on Vi‘s second signet.

I absolutely love snarky, naughty, adolescent Andarna.

pickOh my goodness this book series is incredible! I cannot believe I have to wait until January to find out what happens next. 5 star read! 🌟 (I also may have ordered a Basgiath shirt)
#hyggehourreadathon I am trying to organize and tidy my shelves- and it has been challenging- I really need 1 more book shelf and am overwhelmed with organizing by genre and sub genre. I re listioned to Iron Flame. I may be obsessed. Also nervous- I must have a HEA- im pretty sure Yarros leans that way but some of the theories on tik tok are giving me anxiety- anyone else? Also what series have you all obsessed over?
pickLoved this book as much as the first one. I can‘t believe I have to wait so long to read the next one!
pickYes I flew through this book! No it was not perfect- but I did love it!! Magic, war, love, friendship, family, found family, dragons, It just checked a lot of boxes. I wish the editing had been tighter, the loopholes less loopy and the angst less angsty- but I absolutely pre ordered the third book- and also- am reading 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Also incase I don‘t mention it enough I love Litsy and my Litsy Family! This is the best community 😘
pickThe second in Yarros' Empyrean series, continues Xaden and Violet's thrilling journey. Seamlessly blending adventure, romance, and intrigue, it's as unputdownable as Fourth Wing. Yarros expands this rich world and deepens character relationships, keeping readers enthralled. While the ending left me wishing for a different choice, it doesn't diminish my excitement for the series. I'm eager for the next installment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
pickAnother great read. This author definitely knows when to throw twists and turns in at the right moments! I don‘t always feel compelled to finish reading a series even if I enjoy it. But after the ending of this book I‘ll definitely be reading the next one when it‘s released!
pick😲 that ending! I can‘t believe I now have to wait until January for the next one. And then who knows how long for the next two after. ARGH! I loved the continuation of the world building and Violet‘s character development. There was a bit in the middle which did drag, but the ending more than made up for it! WRITE FASTER REBECCA YARROS!
pick4✨ This second book did not have the series curse. It was a solid continuation of the story with danger, dragons, and overcoming odds. There was many intense moments and another cliff hanger! I found myself exclaiming out loud No, no, NO!!! Oh man can‘t wait for January to continue the series. #SeriesLove
“Dragons do not answer to the whims of men.” I want to make a poster of this for my son‘s room. I call him my baby dragon. 🐉🥰- Side note: I‘m so glad my library hold finally came in for this. Completely hooked! 🤩

Yeah, I know that feeling ?
pickThe second book in the series! I‘ve heard a lot of negative reviews but I reaaaally enjoyed it! I had to speed through it before I left for my trip and no regrets ❤️ I cannot wait for the next one!! 🐉
Thanks for the tag @BethM and @TheSpineView

@Mommamanzi @Pageturner1 @KateReadsYA
pickI enjoyed the second book as much as the first. I get the comments that there‘s too much going on and it‘s very fast paced, but that didn‘t bother me at all. I thought it was amazing. The third book comes soon!
Omg guys the library must be so mad at me. Reading by return date even though we don't have late fees any more

A worthy follow up to Fourth Wing: similarly addictive journey into the world Yarros has created. Interesting to see some of characters‘ motives and introduction of an almost inter-generational battle.
I had forgotten the frustration of starting a series too early, when there will be many years before a satisfying conclusion. But it is a bit of fun.
so-soWell, this definitely wasn‘t as good as the first. When did Violet become a whiny, lovesick little girl instead of a brilliant badass? I also didn‘t love that there was a MUCH heavier focus on the ✨spice✨ than the last book…but that‘s personal preference. And don‘t even get me started on how many “ah ha!” moments the characters had without actually fully explaining their revelation. Overall, still enjoyed…just not as much as the first.
so-soI‘m having trouble with this one…..first it‘s really long….and a little exhausting. It‘s go go go and very fast paced. Way too much Violet for me.
pickThis second book was really good. It was full of action and some surprises that will change things. It ended on another cliffhanger and I can't wait to see what happens next!
so-soI struggled with rating this one. The problem for me is that the MC, Violet, is so incredibly unlikeable to me. She‘s self-centered and self-serving. She also has an immaturity about her that‘s insufferable. I also don‘t like the “teenage” Andarna this book, which is upsetting because I loved her in Fourth Wing. The twists and imagery of certain scenes saved this book, in my opinion.
pickLucky dog got a long 3 mile walk so I could finish this audio 🦮
Looking forward to book 3. Hopefully the wait isn‘t too long. I hope Yarros is typing away 😂
I heard a TON of criticism of the Empyrean series. Much of it valid. But some of of what bothered others, didn't bother me. For example, the books are U.S. military coded. The author is an Army brat, so that's not shocking. I served 23 years as a military spouse. While I hold a lot of liberal views, I also hold dear that community and understand some of those hard choices. Not saying that clears the critique, but that those parts didn't bother me.
