Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Dark and thunderous, furious and fierce. Cold, heartless, and devastatingly beautiful, like the statues in our prep school gardens. The school with his family name on the sign. He can do no wrong here. This is his domain. He’s a menace on campus. Adored and feared. Hated and respected. His taunting words carve into my skin, shredding me to ribbons. Yet his intense gaze scorches my blood, fills me with a longing I don’t understand.
Publisher's Summary
“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.”―Xaden Riorson
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

I loved this story…. The narrator made me want to pull my hair our. She made Vi sound like a guy and her voices were horrible. Probably one of the worse audiobooks I’ve listened too. Teddy Hamilton once again was great but Rebecca Soler wasn’t.

I wish I could throw this book off a cliff.
I really wanted to like this. But it felt like 70% of the book consisted of the main characters whining about trust and honesty and how they love each other but they can’t BE in love because they can’t communicate. The world building doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and some of the writing feels out of place. While the first book felt like a cheesy combination of Divergent, Hunger Games, and every other super popular YA novel involving young people starting/fighting in a war/rebellion, it was still interesting enough to get through. The characters felt much more solid in the first one. But everything fell apart in this one and the ending just made me want to buy the physical book just so I could throw it off a cliff. If you were on the fence for the first book, you probably won’t enjoy the 2nd.

Really enjoying this
Not sure what is so bad about the narrator. I like her style. She does a nice job acting as well. I like that she adds in little details like yawns, laughed, huffs, etc to draw the characterization beyond just the words of the author.
This story really had me hooked. The ending has me locked in for book 3. I can’t wait. Keep these coming. The story and characters are so good.

Pick a different narrator!!
Rebecca Soler breathes into the mic, swallows, sniffs, she can't keep a steady pace, or volume. I enjoy her narration other than I genuinely had to slow down and speed up in the story so much that I had to be more active than if I had just picked up the book. This is incredibly inconvenient for those who are visually impaired and switching these would be more of a nuisance. I restarted chapters over and over trying to figure out what happened. My normal speed is 2x-2.5x, however, I had it down to 1.15x and that was too fast. Then she would slow down again and 2x then felt slow.
I can't even guarantee this is a good audio for a reread because of her bad narration. The audio for Fourth Wing had to be redone because Rebecca was sniffing up snot for 11 chapters. You can still tell she was sick, but this is telling about the quality we're expecting from her now.

Love the book hate the narration
Great book, but this narrator is just not good. Teddy Hamilton is fantastic as always, but Rebecca Soler is just not right for audio. I listened to the last book, and thought she was just sick, but no it’s just her voice. The swallowing and breathing are just so off-putting, it’s kind of gross to listen to, even at 1.5x speed. She also starts to do voices for different characters, but they all tend to blend into one voice and it’s hard to tell who is who. I liked this story more than the first one though. It felt more complete and the amount of depth in the story was great.

….. I am unwell. I loved the first book fourth wing and was hoping this one would be equally as good and I am not disappointed. Story is amazing! Sobbed multiple times. 10/10. Rebecca Soler does a fantastic job portraying the characters and their emotions. Guess I’ll have to listen to this on repeat until the next book comes out.

Amazing story, still don’t love the performance
This is very likely my favorite book of all time but the spots where the narrator is reading spoken character lines using the wrong character voices she’s established things start getting lost. It’s way better than the problems in Fourth Wing’s audio but had I not been reading along I would’ve been kinda lost. Def worth it but still kinda wish they did more edits

Great book, horrible narration
Soler uses different voices for each character but then fades them all into the same. Violet also is made to sound like a whispering male at parts that are not only distracting but off putting to point of clearing the app. Why Rhiannon (a poc) was ever given a cali-valley accent is beyond me. Soler’s choice to raspy breathe and audibly gasp was a detriment to the storytelling too but not nearly as gross as her hard swallowing at pointed intervals (many of which are NOT indicated in the book- yes, I checked prior to writing this review). Hamilton was great as always and professional. Half of me wanted more Xaden POVs just so Hamilton could take over for longer in the storytelling role.

I loved fourth wing…this one I’m not so sure
See, I really loved the first book. The meat of this story was lacking. The female narrator put me off especially during action scenes. It made it unbearable… maybe I need to buy the book and read… I might feel differently. As of now, I actually couldn’t wait to finish the book (out of boredom).

Distinctly Meh
Fourth Wing gripped me, Iron Flame was a struggle.
The majority of the book was a couple arguing repetitively with very little time spent on character development and world building. There's no subtlety in Yarros' writing to help you build up to pivotal/emotional moments. It was a struggle.
I liked the narration. She tended to speed up during battle scenes which helped set the frantic, desperate ambience.

Good story, poor narration
The narrator is nasal, bad at making different voices (makes it hard to differentiate the characters) and tend to sound aggressive even when the character isn't supposed to be.
Narration aside: (might contain spoilers)
I did enjoy the story, but I feel like there are quite a few plot holes. Violet is supposed to have the mind of a Scribe and be very intelligent - I would then assume she's curious, questioning everything, and highly observant, with the ability to add up everything the observes. However, she seems to be the opposite. It is a bit annoying, as a reader (listener, lol), to understand multiple things loooong before the main character does. So I did feel like it was quite predictable at times. I did not, however, see the plot twist at the end, and I'm excited to see where she takes the story next.
I would give the story 3,5, but I rounded up so people will want to check it out for themselves.
All in all I did enjoy myself, but it is a bit lacking.

To much teenage drama not enough storyline
I honestly wanted this series to be brilliant BUT Jesus. listening to the two title characters go back and forth arguing for 70% of the book. it's like EastEnders with dragons. can I have my money back please.

I think I’ve got whiplash
This book is like getting punched in the head and stomach continuously for 28 hours. 10/10 would recommend.

Noooo! I need to read what comes next!
Great story, so detailed that I can see the emotion in my mind. The characters are all great even those that hate. The narrator has the perfect emotion in her voice to have you on the edge of your seat at times.
Great read. Over too quick. Please we need the next book. 🙏thank you.

Not as good as first of the series
Was so excited to start this after devouring Fourth Wing but while it wasn't terrible, it certainly lacked a lot from what fourth wing had. The beginning started off good and the end was action packed and suspenseful - but the middle was filled with slop that was hard to read through. And also I know this is going to be a 5 book series I believe, I still don't understand a lot of the over arching plot, don't get me wrong I don't want to know everything, it's best when it's surprises you but when parts of the book your scratching your head wondering what is going on and others your bored as hell it isn't good. It feels like she's throwing so much lore, geography, languages, names etc at you but not expanding on much of it, it just seems like a lot of information but also very much no information at the same time. \ get she's trying to build a world but slow and steady wins the race, this book could have done with more editing, condensing the scale and pace of things down and giving us more sub villains and plots and a good deal of more rewrites, I think she rushed this book out to capitalise on the momentum and sales Fourth wing has had but it was a mistake as it fell short and tried to achieve to much.

Rebecca Soler redeemed herself
Coming from the awful audio of Fourth Wing where Rebecca had a cold throughout half of the book making it almost unbearable to listen- Iron Flame is a masterpiece. Rebecca Soler did a fantastic work of voicing the characters and dragons. It felt like listening to a movie. The level of intent she put behind every sentence. Incredible!
The book was good. It felt a bit rushed (not in terms of storyline but rather deadlines and contracts causing the quality of writing to decline). I will definitely read the third book.

phenomenal
can't wait for the next in the series! Zaiden and Violets relationship is so addictive, their friendships, the dragons have me in stitches and honestly more than once the books had me on the edge of my seat SHAKING with anxiety for the characters.
I have 5hrs 13 minutes left and I just don't want their stories to ever end. I can't wait to collect the paper copies.

Overall
One of the most disappointing tales I have heard in a long while. Written in the first person it maybe should have been retitled as I. Narration was terrible, screechy and childish tones. Please think twice before purchase.

Average
Honestly, the narrator is awful. Not a fan of the constant shouting in many scenes.
The plot is okay but the romance is so cliche and just stupid. I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at how ridiculous it is. Didn't particularly enjoy the writing style either.
Probably won't read the next one.

Loved it all except Xaden's Voice actor.
Please replace him. it does not suit the character at all.
Well done to Violet' voice actor, though.
Another great book from Rebecca Yarros.

brilliant fantasy story
Twists and turns and villians abound.
Thoroughly enjoyed the stories of the Dragons, their riders and the strength of characters.
Enjoy how no one is safe how for the thrill of battles characters are changed.

The narrator was horrendous... again
I loved the book, great cliffhanger too. there was too many characters and info dumps along the way that weren't needed but didn't ruin anything for me.
However, the narrator needs to go. She confused her voices for all the different people, Violet was Xaden, Rhi was Violet, Xaden was Violet. I couldn't keep up with who was who. Also it was hard to listen and follow along when Violet was taking too her self or outside voice. I had to rewind to make sure I heard it correctly. no pauses between sentences, or when needed to change POVs, characters or anything really. I got through it, but would have been so much better if I didn't have to keep trying to figure who was talking to who all.. the.. freaking.. time.
should have read the book instead.
Love teddy though. can he just read the whole book for the next one please?
