Iron Flame - Review

Iron Flame - Review

Burn. It. Down. Indeed. No, but I really enjoy the second part of the Fourth Wing Saga Even though I have to forgive Rebecca Yarros that she killed one my favorite Characters. The only thing I criticize is that the Love story is in both books to much. And there’s pointless smut also, which for me personally doesn’t feel like a real romantic-releationship more like a physical one. People will I hate me if I say that, but I don’t care about Xaden Riorson. I couldn't form an emotional connection with him because when I look at him I’m just seeing Rhysand and Darkling again. And the Darkling and Rhysand are similar but are characterwise very different, Xaden is a decent character but he doesn’t have what grabbed me when I read about Rhysand or the Darkling. But there are more things I really like then dislike, Violet for example she’s still a very good protagonist and I like the things she’s going trough trough out the book. It’s always interesting with her because she’s smart but also really caring. Some people compare her to Hiccup from httyd, I get they are similar, but I think personally that Hiccup is more complex and more relatable than Violet, don’t get me wrong she’s cool but doesn’t stick out that much, than Hiccup, Celaena, Feyre, Nesta, Zoya or Inej does. As I said before I don’t really care about her Relationship with Xaden that much, don’t get me wrong I like Love-Stories and Romantic stuff in books as in movies very much but at some points I had the feeling that Violet was over focused on Xaden. I know there life’s where attached to each other thanks to their Dragons, but even Feyre from ACTOR wasn’t that over focused on her mate or want to fuck him before a fucking War starts. Their Relationship is definitely the weakest part of the book and should be more in the background, I think that would’ve done overall great story wonders. The political stuff and the Dragon stuff is actually more interesting. Maybe the other three books will get me invested in Xadens Character, if it’s not his Perspective. Apropos Dragons I have to give credit to Tairn and Andarna, they were fantastic. I also really like that we see the see more of the releationship Violet has with her Dragons. But overall I have to confess I like the Dragons from httyd much more, they feel more real. I also really Love Violet and Sloanes relationship near the end, I just wished Violet would be more of a Mentor figure maybe some kind of a sister for Sloane when they resolved their conflict. Syrena and Cat I also liked, but Cat was a bitch until the end happen. But I like that Violet and her now accept each other. I just wish the side characters weren’t that blend. You know very little about them. The political that was going on was also very interesting, Navarre is a very fascinating Kingdom. The ending is very dramatic with Violets Mom sacrificing herself. Sorry but Idk why but I would’ve leave it with this ending instead of Xaden again and his red eyes and the whole scene with Jack. But overall I can recommend it, it’s enjoyable but I personally prefer the first book more. I also never saw so many roasting Videos on YouTube that for 2 hours straight. I mean yeah the Emperyean Series is a little overrated but it has potential and Rebecca Yarros is talented, the only thing that holds the Books a little back is the relationship between Xaden and Violet and also Xaden. But I wish Rebecca Yarros still the best, because I know writing, figuring out where the plot goes, plant Plottwits in it and at the same time make the characters complex and compelling is hard work. But if I were her, I would have waited a little longer to develop and figure more things out and get more feedback.

The Hidden World just gets better and better

I mean this is insane and awesome. I think that’s the most special and unique Soundtrack of the whole Trilogy. That’s just…Wow. 🤩

Idk if this is also by the other two movies but some Tracks have a deeper meaning in the Story for example: With Love comes a great Waterfall, As long as he is safe or together from afar.

Let’s appreciate the Hobgobbler because this little guy was inspired by one of Dean DeBlois Dogs.

I want to pet this little guy so badly. I really need a plushie from it. It’s one of the best things ever introduced in the httyd-franchise.

Wagner Moura was awesome!

Httyd Homecoming headcanon:

And Hiccup and Astrid, who have a strong, passionate marriage, having two beautiful children just watching all this drama like:

I‘ve read it till the last page and I‘m so excited for your next chapters. @drakaina-amore64 But just take your time, I read some of your notes above and I feel you, as someone who is currently writing on her own novel and trying to finish some fanfics and dealing with school stuff at the same time.

Honestly this Fic made my day. Hiccup was so cute even though he felt a bit different from the movies, but hey it’s modern AU so it fits pretty well. Also you got me a little bit recovered from my recent reading that is called Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. At least I care about this characters here and it was exciting and it is always nice to see Hiccstrid Interacting. By the way the tension between them was wonderful and that comes from a Person who is not a big fan of either Romantsy or Romance as the main plot in general. But here it worked really well. Such a touching Story. I love how Hiccup cares for her deeply and you can clearly see that he loves her really much, just like in the Movies. He would do anything for her, so sweet!

Astrid walked into the doctors, coming to stand in the long queue. Fear was gripping every single nerve in her body, making her shiver even though the air was warm. She had no clue what to expect, none at all.

“Hello dear,” the receptionist said, peering up from the computer. “What are you here for?”

“I’m here to ah – I have a doctor's appointment, at 3pm. My name is Astrid Hofferson.”

Astrid tapped her fingers on the desk, waiting for the receptionist to look her up on the computer.

“Excellent. Have a seat Miss Hofferson, Dr. Zimmerman will be with you shortly.”

Astrid pulled away and walked over to the row of chairs that were mostly filled. She found one in the corner, where a young mother and two toddlers were sitting. Sitting down awkwardly, she smiled at the mother and pulled out her phone to scroll through social media while she waited. The two children were grizzling and throwing themselves around in their seat, obviously sick of waiting. The mother was desperately trying to settle them, offering snacks as a distraction when other people in the waiting room began to stare.
