In today's episode, we are going all in on one of the most highly anticipated books of the year, Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros.

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.

Back in May, we had the pleasure of sitting down to speak with Rebecca Yarros about Fourth Wing, her writing process, and more, so we knew we had to share our thoughts on the second book in The Empyrean series as soon as we finished reading it.

Readers and listeners be warned... there be spoilers ahead!

Haven't finished reading Iron Flame yet, or missed our special interview episode with Rebecca Yarros discussing Fourth Wing? You can check it out here: BYOB In Conversation with... Rebecca Yarros!
