It's taking all of my willpower not to dive into Iron Flame, and ignore the pile of work I have to complete today

That's one of the reasons I love this book so much... it has SO many flaws and errors and we all have just decided NOT TO CARE hahahhaha it's almost kind of strangely wholesome

I held off on reading this until I read Fourth Wing but flew through the second half last night and oh. My. God. Immediately bought iron flame and had to start it!!! Also dying to hear who you’d cast to play the main characters if they make it into a show or movie! 👀

Coming back here because I finally was able to borrow Fourth Wing on Libby (the months long wait list is crazy!). I also read it in three days and I loved it! Thank you for the rec! Now purchasing Iron Flame ASAP because I can’t do another months long wait on Libby!

Looooved it!! Our book club group text is pretty much all Fourth Wing and Sarah J Maas even though we read plenty of other books as a group 😂 I’m anxiously awaiting my Iron Flame pre-order’s arrival!!

I somehow never saw your comment back until now! I liked Iron Flame but thought it was wayyyy too long! Still fun but just not as good as the first one!

A friend explained the plot to me, and I was sure it wouldn't be my thing. And then I finished it in three days also. I'm on the list at the library for the second one, but I'm sure I'll be annoyed that I'll have to wait forever to continue the story after this one.

I really wonder when we're getting book 3 since Iron Flame came out like 6 months after Fourth Wing... like she can't possibly keep up a 6 month / book pace forever right???

I feel like Taylor Swift has set some unrealistic expectations for pumping out new material. lol

I loooooooved it and I’m quite amazed at the timing of your newsletter as I started Fourth Wing last weekend (and finished it last weekend also...)!

I’m have a hold on it on Libby with a “several months wait.” Maybe I should add it to my Christmas list! I’ve made my GoodReads challenge 10 books this year for the third year in a row, and finally achieved it for the first time this year. It’s called a challenge for a reason!
