Iron Flame is a 2023 new adult fantasy novel by American author Rebecca Yarros. It is the second book in the Empyrean series, a planned five-book series.[1][2][3]

Background

The second installment in the Empyrean series was released on November 7, 2023.[4][5][6][7] The storyline continues where the first book ended. Violet has to use the abilities she learned during Threshing at Basgiath War College and achieve her true power, even though the vice commandant is determined to show her how weak she is.[1][8][9]

Reception

The book received widespread acclaim upon its release day. Iron Flame generated significant buzz online and offline with 200 Barnes & Noble stores throughout the USA organizing midnight release parties for the book, including a notable event in New York City attended by Yarros.[10] In addition to these official gatherings, independent bookstores hosted their own celebrations, quickly running out of tickets due to the high demand.[1]

After the release, many readers pointed out that their copies of Iron Flame had a variety of misprints. Some of which included spines that read, "Fourth Wing", instead of Iron Flame and covers that had the title and author's name printed upside down. Other readers said there were pages inside of the book printed the wrong way, or out of order. Entangled Publishing agreed to exchange the misprinted books.[11]
