This week we are recapping our top 5 moments from Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, and let's just say our lists do not match, and we're both judging each other for the placement of 'my house, my chair, my woman'.

Quick note, we will swear throughout and although this episode is focussing on Iron Flame we will spoil all the way from Fourth Wing to the end of Onyx Storm so listener beware.
