Resumen del Editor

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!

PART 2 WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST

The battle music, the characters, the voice actors, the amount of love poured into this is felt and I was in TEARS! So good!!!!

Better performance than part 1

Not sure what changed, but the narrations were much better in part 2 than in part one. I’d say they are close to Fourth Wing level performances. Sgaeyl’s voice was, I believe, the same VA, but the voice was wrong, so that was disappointing. Gabriel Michael stepped up his game, a vast improvement over part one. (The throne scene 🥵🥵)

I hope all the VAs return for Onyx Storm.

Riveting, action packed and full of romance

Love the graphic audio versions and have also read the two books available. Love the voices so far with the exception of Catriona’s. She’s a significant character in the second part of Iron Flame and I don’t feel like her catty personality or beauty was captured properly but overall the graphic audios are great. She’s not significant enough to put me off. Overall, tho, the voice casting is great - Xaden, Violet, Rhiannon’s spunk, love Varrish’s perfidiousness to name a few - but in this one, Cat’s is disappointing. And, not sure if it’s because I actually read Iron Flame part 2 first as opposed to listening to the graphic audio first, but there are certain scenes in this one I feel don’t flow properly but rarely felt that with the prior audios. Still enjoying this immensely. Cannot wait for Onyx Storm!

Regarding the overall storyline for this series, people should know that the dialogue is fairly modern and there’s cursing but it’s not overused, and the romantic steamy scenes would make it, in my opinion, inappropriate for young teens. But the heroine goes through a journey overcoming not only her own physical hindrances and insecurities, but the nearly everyone else’s low expectations of her. I LOVE her journey and how she learns that she can’t shy from challenges if she wants to survive but needs to face them head on. And she’s surrounded by loving, respectful, and supportive friends and love interests. The action doesn’t stop. Keeps me riveted to know what will happen next. It’s a great series so far.

Amazing 👏

Such a great series, this book is awesome and so is this full cast audio. I truly recommend 👌 👏

SO WORTH THE WAIT !!!

The whole book was Amazing, the narration made me feel like I was right there with them . there where times I would forget I was listening to a book and look up to my TV to see the action .lol There where times where I had real tears 😢 streaming down my face . The cast did an AMAZING job !! 10 stars 🌟 🤩 !!!

Love the cast, and really brought the book to life

This book is amazing! The story was awesome, and this audio version really brings the story to life. I highly recommend this book. Can’t wait for the third!!

Great but,

They left out sooooo much dialogue and a lot of violets thought process. That’s not the actor’s or the story’s fault though. Just sucks when you know what’s missing. Everything else was great!

i love this but ..

i listen to these bc i love the book and they cut a lot of parts that make the books so good, like the battle ax part of their fight before violet confronts him about the second signet

The ending was so powerful

The chills, the tears. Love it. This is my favorite way to listen. Bummer that it takes 2 credits per book, but it’s worth it

Enjoyed, but changes or missing scenes

Overall I enjoyed. There was some tones or inflections I read very differently. But gave another perspective so not mad. I was a little sad that they cut some scenes. And honestly. Every little detail matters with some of the theories. So if you’re only listening to this you might miss some pieces.
