Onix Description
Discover the instant #1 New York Times bestseller! TV series now in development at MGM Amazon Studios with Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society.
“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.

Bought this series to see what all the hype was about... it's seriously overrated. Don't waste your time.

For my collection
Was a pick up order that had to be replaced. Whoever picked it grabbed one that was damaged and this is clearly something for a collection so I wanted one in better condition. They were amazing about switching it out!

Riveting storyline and a perfectly unperfect heroine.
I am really enjoying reading this series by Rebecca Yarros. The nonstop action pulls you in immediately and makes it difficult to put down! And the ending…! Never saw that coming! I can’t wait for the next book to arrive on my doorstep!

Iron Flame Hardcover
Loved the second book in the series! I will say, some of this book seemed to have a little filler compared to the first, however, it was equally amazing! I found myself devouring the pages and didn’t want to put it down. It’s over 100 pages longer than the first book as well. Very excited to start the next book and see where this adventure takes Violet next! To add: the book arrived in pristine condition. No dents in the cover and no tears in the pages.

LOVED IT!!!
Rebecca Yarros is a brilliant author and I will be reading the entirety of the Empyrean series. I really enjoyed how she incorporated a bit of comedy with the seriousness of a war looming. The dragons stenciled on the edges is a nice artistic touch. 10 out of 10 would read again.

Eh
Somewhat lackluster, I ended up finding a limited edition copy and returned this one in order to purchase the other. I then realized this series wasn't for me. Not a big dragon girl I guess

Decent fun read
The story itself is pretty good. It pulls you in and keeps the you turning pages. However, similar to the first book in the series, some of the writing is so immature and repetitive. There’s so much back and forth conflict between the main character and love interest that could have been removed and shortened the book quite a bit. I did enjoy the action a lot though
