BYE THIS WAS SO FUNNY this was a more entertaining read than iron flame omg. But also yes insecure person wish fulfillment. It literally felt like someone wanted to write themselves as the MC of the SJM universe 🦹😍
I would rather read a 600 page negative review of this book than actually read the book
I just finished this and you gave a way better review of this then the one I gave my friends.. I love you, thank you for your service and I will suffer with you lmao
I am now starting to read iron flames and I thought I was tweaking?😭 she is trying to villainize Xaden so bad meanwhile her memory got acessed and just a word he told her got them into trouble. So I’m struggling to see how Xaden “betrayed her trust”
I would pay real American dollars to get this review in hardback.
I really don't understand how the book can have so many stars omg ...
I love your review Q_Q <3
Now I want to read it. Just to know, if this is really sooo bad or sooo good.
There should be a GR review award
And this should win
This review is everything. I was more invested reading this review than the actual book
Absolutely unhinged but perfect review, A+
lmao suzanne collins invented rebellion & jk rowling invented villains guys, u heard it here first. /s
SCREAMINGGG at the last sentence of the book
This review cured the brain rot I acquired after reading the first 26 chapters 🤗 don’t waste your time in this “AdULt FanTAsY”. It’s giving millennial core, it’s giving pick me, it’s giving YA writing with a few underwhelming sex scenes… someone tell RY to stay on Wattpad 🙄
“insecure person wish fulfillment” 💀I was excited to finish the book specifically so i could read 1 star reviews and this one wins
This review is a work of art. 👌🏼 *chef’s kiss*
I had more fun reading this review than I did Iron Flame before I DNF’ed it! Kudos <3
This is the funniest review I’ve ever seen 😭 but also so true
I agree with everything you said. At this point, I wish Xaden would become mega Venin and fuck off far away from Violet and her personality-sucking self
I actually had been considering picking up Iron Flame so I could see if everything that made me hate Fourth Wing ever got any better. Thank you for saving me the brain damage I would inevitably take from the book, I am definitely not touching this book or anything else written by Yarros ever again. Your suffering was not in vain lol
Haha o m g. This was intense and I loved it. I listened to the audiobook which made the experience even worse. I could not stand how many times she mentioned “his dark gold flecked onyx eyes” and wtf; I think she must’ve said the frase “In a heartbeat” at least 50 times. No originality whatsoever. I really felt the same frustration and cringe as mentioned in your review. You worded it perfectly.

I love a dedicated hater, thank you for your service🫂
I thought it's a ME problem when I needed to reread sentences just to get them because why does everyone else seem to like this series 😭
I’m crying, this is the best thing I’ve ever read (unlike that book)
thank god someone else took the same amount of psychic damage as me with that last line. I read the last page to see if I would even WANT to read this book and I saw that line, closed the book, took a deep breath and then laid down XD. I have never experienced a hit like that. I had to contemplate my life. I had to think if I still want to publish a book if this is what I am competing with and it is insanely successful. I had to really look at myself in the mirror and determine if I was a masochist, given I have chosen to read this book even after reading that line because all my friends are pressuring me so that we can talk about it. I might just watch a youtube video that tells me everything so I don't have to subject myself to reading the actual words this book tries to string together. ):
Thank you! Your reviews of the two books made my enduring Fourth Wing worth it. Must cleanse my palate with a good book!
This was way more entertaining than the actual book.
this was the best thing i've ever read. not best review. just general written work. just incredible.
i just finished fourth wing and i'll never get those hours of my life back. thank you for saving me the hours and money it would take to read the second book by letting me know the caliber was even lower (not sure how that's possible, but i believe you).
don't stop reviewing bad books. i think it's your calling.
It's really nice reading the 1 star reviews, after Fourth Wing and the pure, unfiltered anger I still have from that stupid mess of a book, I mentally struggle to see why anyone would like either of these books and feel like I was pranked. Did I read the same book everyone is raving about? Answer unfortunately is yes, and I am so mad that such a trash book got published in the first place. That a second was published. That i saw the announcement date for the third. I have anger issues because of RY, and I feel like I should be financially compensated for the pain and suffering I had to endure in Fourth Wing. I won't touch anymore of her books, I hate her writing style, I hate RY.
Your comment was the best thing I read in months (yes i read both 4th wing and this horrible book last month). your review make laugh so hard and ended up crying by the laugh. I need more of your content now 😂😂😂😂
I loved your review and I laughed a lot! Thanks! I've just finished book 1 and had no interest in reading the second, but I needed to know what was going to happen
NOT THE WORD LIMIT LOL 💀Thanks for taking that sacrifice, I was seriously contemplating reading the series, now I WILL NOT 🫡
girl thanks i won’t even start the first book because of this review😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This 🙌🏽 is the most accurate and relatable review of all time. Bless, someone else who truly knows my pain. How on God’s green earth this has so many 3-5 star reviews, I will never understand.
This is EXACTLY how I felt about this book. Such an A+ review. Very well done!
You took the words right out of my mouth. Never wanted to throat punch a book before....now I have. Absolute garbageeeeee!!!!
I’m now stalking your account and reading all your reviews and I cannot stop laughing. This is your gift. Keep doing it. Next I suggest the Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart series, I cannot wait to see what you do with them
THIS IS IT THIS IS THE IRON FLAME REVIEW LITERALLY SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE HYPE AROUND THIS SERIES I FELT LIKE I WAS READING A WATTPAD BOOK I LOST BRAINCELLS READING THIS TRAINWRECK
The devolvement of this review is so good
I only read Fourth Wing, then I read your review and there are literal tears streaming down my face, this is legitimately the funniest review I have ever read holy crap
Couldn't agree more! This book reminds me of this text Ursula Le Guin wrote: "Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their action to violence, their actors to dolls, and their truth- telling to sentimental platitude. Heroes brandish their swords, lasers, wands, as mechanically as combine harvesters, reaping profits. Profoundly disturbing moral choices are sanitized, made cute, made safe. The passionately conceived ideas of the great story-tellers are copied, stereotyped, reduced to toys, molded in bright-colored plastic, advertised, sold, broken, junked, replaceable, interchangeable.
What the commodifiers of fantasy count on and exploit is the insuperable imagination of the reader, child or adult, which gives even these dead things life—of a sort, for a while."
Oh my god thank you so much for this review. I just finished it and, like, IM ON HOLIDAY, HOW DARE THIS BOOK BE SO BAD ON MY HOLIDAY!! But reading your review made me feel better and like I’m not taking crazy pills. Can you recommend a good fantasy book for me? I think I might like the genre but hated these.
Just one question, why did you read the second book if you disliked the first so much? Why spend money and time if you hate it so much?
THANK YOU!!! also quick point wth was with everyone threatening to throttle eachother??? There was one page that violet threatened to throttle Tairn after he said he would throttle her and someone else said it after that like(???)!!!!!! ✨ ⭐️ 🌈 CrEatiVitY IG⭐️🌈✨
