The Iron Flower

De: Laurie Forest

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

Dark forces are on the rise in this sweeping sequel to The Black Witch by critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest.

Elloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs when they rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon. The last thing they expected was to be thrust into a realm-wide underground resistance against Gardnerian conquest.

While the Resistance struggles to fight back against the harsh rulings of the Mage Council, more and more Gardnerian soldiers descend upon the University…led by none other than Lukas Grey, now commander of the nearby military base. Though Elloren tries to keep him at arm's length, Lukas is determined to tie himself to her, still convinced that she is the heir to the power of the Black Witch, a legacy of magic that will decide the future of all Erthia. As his own magic calls out to her, seeking to awaken a dark force within, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe that she's truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed.

As she navigates the dangerous line of insurgency, Elloren must find a way to stay true to what she knows is right and protect everyone she loves...even if that means protecting them from herself.

I NEED the next book!!!

I sincerely hope I don’t have to wait long for the next book. I’m dying to know what happens next!!

Just Can’t Wait!

I can’t think of anything I haven’t loved about this series. I’ve read it twice!
First in order and then I mixed them to timeline story order.
I can not wait for the next book! Laurie don’t let me down!

by far the worst entery in the series

too much fluff and littile to no progress, the bit of wroldbuilding was good though.

Complex and deep story

The first volume ot this book was slow, I wanted to stop it. The second half of first volume was interesting.
This volume, the second one slowly built up the background of the main characters and the real action starts at third volume.

It absolutely worth to read but give enough time to the story to grow up.

The narrator was perfect, she used different tones.

Slow and steady

The story keeps ramping up. Keeps getting complicated, but still a nice narrative to follow.

Love this series

Great narrator and story. Just waiting for my next credit to get the last book.

I loved it!! So much fun..

Narrator was great. SJM is my favorite author but Laurie Forest gave me one of the best stories I've read since crescent City.
Thank you Laurie Forest. I absolutely loved it 😃

OUTSTANDING

The crafted world with such details. It is honestly so achingly beautiful. I have no idea why this has not come to the screen

Second read was even better than the first

I absolutely love this series and never read books twice let alone whole series but it's just so good!

A whirlwind of emotions

Brilliant and amazing just like the first book! Those last 100 pages destroyed me! My heart broke and I cried. Then cried some more. Then ugly cried. My mouth dropped at least a dozen times. The world building and storytelling is truly mastered. The character arcs are incredible as well as the creatures described. Each book has small battles as well as setting up for the war. I can’t wait to dive into the next one! Six stars! Rarely do I get hooked like this and even rarer do I believe a series is this brilliant. I don’t think Laurie could have done any better. She sets the bar for a magical world. No one has done it better. If you love Harry Potter, then these books will captivate you. They’re better in every way.
