Iron Flame (Part 1 of 2) (Dramatized Adaptation)

The Empyrean, Book 2

By: Rebecca Yarros

Narrated by: full cast, Gabriel Michael, Torian Brackett, LaMont Ridgell, Taylor Coan, Jessica Lauren Ball, Chris Davenport, Henry W. Kramer, Danny Gavigan, Robb Moreira, Khaya Fraites, Amanda Forstrom

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College–Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits–and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College–and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

omg the teenage drama

I was hoping Violet would have matured from the first book to the second. but no, just more stupid teenage girl crap! makes me want to puke. they are supposed to be 20-21 years old.

Overall good but something is lacking

I fell in love with the fourth wing dramatized audiobooks, I rarely had a moment of spacing out and I easily listened to them a couple times again. But there is something with this one a bit underwhelming. Even tho I know the whole story and I was still really excited, I feel this time it just didn't deliver. I will give it a chance again when the 2nd part becomes available.

Wow

The book itself is amazing but with the graphic audio !!!! This came alive !! Need the second part to come out SOON PLEASE

Binged all day!

Just finished listening and now I have to wait til the second part comes out. I don’t understand why I do this to myself! So amazing yet again!

Way more fun than regular audio.

It’s great. But it’s hard to distinguish between the narration of the FMC and the dialog. Sometimes the sound effects are too loud to hear the dialogs. And some adaptation from book takes away from the emotional experience.
