After I read Iron Flame, I spent some time trying to unpack my thoughts about it and deciding what I wanted to say about it. I started by trying to write a quick summary of the plot so I could talk about all of the things I thought were kind of stupid. Unfortunately, what I ended up writing wasn't a quick summary at all. It's actually over 2000 words.
Anyway, here's my plot summary of Iron Flame. There are a lot of spoilers, but if you don't want to read Iron Flame and do want to know what happens in it, I humbly think reading this summary will be more fun for you than subjecting yourself to the book. I'm planning to write a proper review with more actual analysis soon, but I'm not sure when. So consider this supplementary reading for the review, whenever I actually finish it.
Here we go!
