Alas de hierro (The Empyrean #2)
Alas de hierro (The Empyrean #2) | Rebecca Yarros

«En el primer año algunos pierden la vida. En el segundo año, los que sobrevivimos perdemos la compasión».
—Xaden Riorson
Todos esperaban que Violet Sorrengail muriera en su primer año en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath, incluso ella misma. Pero la Trilla fue tan solo la primera de una serie de pruebas imposibles destinadas a deshacerse de los pusilánimes, los indignos y los desafortunados.
Ahora comienza el verdadero entrenamiento y Violet no sabe cómo logrará superarlo. No solo porque es brutal y agotador ni porque está diseñado para llevar al límite el umbral del dolor de los jinetes, sino porque el nuevo vicecomandante está empeñado en demostrar a Violet lo débil que es a menos que traicione al hombre que ama.
Aunque el cuerpo de Violet es más frágil que el de sus compañeros, su fuerza radica en su ingenio y voluntad de hierro. Además, los líderes están olvidando la lección más importante que Basgiath les ha enseñ los jinetes de dragones crean sus propias reglas.
La voluntad de sobrevivir no será suficiente este año, porque Violet conoce el secreto que se oculta entre los muros del colegio y nada, ni siquiera el fuego de dragón, será suficiente para salvarlos.

I truly enjoyed dhus book but the same repeated argument does get a bit old to listen too. It's an incredible story but be prepared for some continued arguments. Love this series!

So my feeling for this was that it was a worthy follow-up, but still overhyped. Now that I‘ve done the GraphicAudio for the first two books, I feel like I need to do the same for book 3, so I have to wait until July for the 2nd part of that to be released…..

KellyHamHer The Graphic Audio version was cool. I did enjoy that. 2mo

The last chapter, again, in Xaden‘s POV - no spoilers!

Another engaging tale! Some unexpected things happened that will be interesting to see how they play out in the series books to come. I‘m still shipping Xaden and Violet!

Though I‘m probably going to have to wait awhile before the Graphic Audio comes out for Onyx Storm. I will not listen to the normal audiobook; I need Gabriel Michael as Xaden‘s voice! 😉

Checked the book out from the library, so I could follow along as I listened to the Graphic Audio immersive audiobook! I‘ll be starting part two, so a little over halfway done!

peaKnit The graphic audio is really amazing! 4mo
CrowCAH @peaKnit I totally agree! I love the additional music and sound effects. Though at the *spoiler torture scenes it can be a bit much. 4mo
peaKnit Agree! The torture sounds are awful. 4mo

(Book 3 of 2025) I feel like this book moves at a slower pace than Fourth Wing, but it's just as great. Cannot wait to start book 3.

This book was jam-packed with adventure and intrigue. It had me on the edge of my seat. The only criticism I had was that there was so much action that I sometimes got confused as to what was happening and to whom.

I‘m slowly but surely cozy-fying my cubicle at work! I‘ve opted for this rechargeable bird lamp as opposed to us getting the overhead lights brightened- and next week I have a few organizational things coming to help with my cabinets. I already feel so much more peaceful at work, and when I can listen to my audiobooks I‘m truly enjoying it now☺️📖

I throughly enjoyed the book. Although I kinda liked the first part more than the second part. The second part dragged near the end of the book, though I do like the epilogue.

I wish Brennan, Mira and Violet could telepathy talk to each other. They can still graduate even though they aren‘t in Basgiath?! I didn‘t think it was possible. Holy shit! Ridoc almost died?! Of course Violet holds him up to the promise they made earlier in the year.

Very action-packed with frantic pacing, a lot of war strategy stuff and LOOONG story (unnecessarily long one), but it was a decent sequel.

My office is exchanging Valentine cards today and this was from my supervisor. We were both reading Iron Flame at the same time. The poem made me smile and laugh - an essential for a long Friday work morning. It deserves to be shared 🌹💙 Please also note my Dewey‘s Dilemma book puzzle in the background 🤓

Started out strong, limped to 786 pages somewhat exhausted. I am not the intended audience - my younger self would have adored the page-turning storytelling and world building, but this older, slightly jaded reader didn‘t fall for it. Right now, I never want to read about a dragon again, and I‘m glad Violet‘s narrative voice can begone from my head. On the other hand my 17 yo is desperate to get his hands on it, and that is how it should be 🐉

sarahbarnes I feel like I would agree with you. Great review. 6mo
JillR @sarahbarnes I feel like I‘d have enjoyed a 400-ish page version, but more than 700 tipped me over the edge 😆 6mo

One of the best second books I have ever read. From begining to end I was captivated. I love how all the characters have an evolution in their character and not only the most important people. I love how Rebecca shows us the beautiful parts of a love story but also some hard and bad parts about a relationship.

This book made me fall in love with Violet and Xaden like my 15 year old self once fell in love with Katniss and Peeta once before.

Why is this ebook 1000 pages long? It‘s tells me it will take me a month and a half to read especially since I‘m judging it with how long it took me to read “It” by Stephen King.

mcctrish @TEArificbooks bringing Jack back from the dead seemed ridiculous but lead the groundwork, however implausible, for venin to be inside the wards. And now what? V kills him or joins him? 6mo

Went to my local library today and got three books that I have been seeing everywhere. It had been a while since I went there because of my grandmother being sick and everything. I enjoyed it so much!! I am hoping to go more this year.

I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations like Fourth Wing did. Nevertheless, I will continue reading Onyx Storm to see it through to the end. I hope it gets better.

Reread. I didn't like it as well as Fourth Wing. I'm not a reader who enjoys very detailed spice, but I am still invested in the characters and I love the action. Letter I #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader

DGRachel I saw a couple different posts on Threads mentioningpeople giving Yarros sh*t for writing Dragon 🌽 because if it‘s a woman writing fantasy it must be trash. I didn‘t have any interest in this series but that attitude makes me so mad, I‘m now going to have to buy the whole series even if I never read them. 6mo
Butterfinger @DGRachel how demeaning. She can write a great story. I think romantsy genre is for those who like it. I don't, but I am honest enough to say it wasn't the sex as much as I couldn't quite follow the rules of magic in the Navarre world. And, that's on me, not Yarros. Which means she can hold her own with Tolkien or Martin. I can't understand them either. LOL!!!! 6mo
Butterfinger @DGRachel I mean romantsy does have a loyal fan base. 6mo
DGRachel I have a friend that LOVED the first book, so I‘m definitely going to try the series out. So far, I‘ve only encountered one Romantasy author I like, so I know I‘m extra picky about the writing style but Tolkien bores me. 😂 I have a feeling there could be no romance at all and those same people would still say disparaging things. 🤬 6mo

Done with the re-read. Not sure whether it stood up to a re-read but I listened quickly and am ready for number 3.
