About this listen
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.

A Great Winged One will soon arise and cast his fearsome shadow upon the land.

Carnissa Gardner, the last prophesied Black Witch, drove back the enemy forces and saved her people during the Realm War. Now a new evil is on the horizon, and her granddaughter, Elloren, is believed to be Carnissa's heir—but utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above nearly all else.

Story
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Story
Eighteen-year-old Trinity may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Her gift is the reason she’s been in hiding for years in a compound guarded by Wardens—shape-shifters who protect humankind from demons. If the demons discover the truth about Trinity, they’ll devour her to enhance their powers. When Wardens from another clan arrive with reports that something is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s world implodes. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met.

Story
My whole life, I have been a prisoner. Starved. Beaten. Hated. But most of all, I am feared. I am feared because I am the most powerful woman in the world. Most want me dead. Some want to control my magic for their own dark desires. To others, I am salvation. A key to winning a war that has raged for 500 years between those who can use magic, and hunters, who dedicate their entire existence to killing anyone with magic in their blood. I am released from my chains and thrown into a world I am supposed to save. A world that has made me suffer beyond words. Magic must return. But should it?

Excellent Series!
Great narration and a really great book, enjoyable story. I listen to these audiobooks when driving my daughter to school or dance. I feel like the author provides excellent examples for young people to understand the complexities of religion, sexuality, discrimination, refugees, etc in the real world by exposing the protagonist to challenging experiences that cause her to have personal growth. There is also a theme of female strength through these stories, which is good for young people to hear and understand women can actually be strong.
With all that said, these really are enjoyable stories where you can escape into the world the author has created. I can’t to wait to listen to the next book in the series!

Great Follow Up
Another packed story in THE BLACK WITCH CHRONICLES that follows Elloren as she struggles to come to terms with her identity, lack of power, and incredible loss as cruel forces sweep to take over the realms.
This book is a lot of build-up. Most of the plot is centered around further solidifying Elloren as she continues breaking free of her people's teachings, as well as preparing for the larger events of the series. Though this can be seen as "second-book syndrome," I actually enjoyed the slower pacing. It allowed more time for the characters, their emotions, and their relationships to grow.
Elloren remains an empathetic character and I appreciated that she was truly doing her best, given how she's been raised and how she sees herself. It was nice to see more of her fire grow and see her willing to fight to support her friends. The tone of this book was much darker and she suffered quite a bit, so I was glad to see more of her passion emerge later in the book.
All of the side characters, aside from the antagonists, were complex and layered. There were new characters and groups introduced that added to this challenging political story. The bond between Elloren and Ivan continued to grow and I appreciated the direction it went. Elloren had great dialogues with many characters, and to be honest, much of the dialogues were the highlight of the book for me.
While there aren't endless action scenes, there were plenty of dramatic moments that made this book very powerful and challenging, especially near the end. There is a sense of heaviness, danger, and consequence that I hope continues through the rest of the series.
There are two major twists at the end. I don't know if it was because of the prose or plot, or that I just read so much I can identify these things, but I figured both of them out early on and was not surprised by either. That said, I didn't need shock value to enjoy the book. Instead, there is a sense of "Well, now that that's out of the way, I'm excited for what will happen next!"

Obsessed.
I'm really enjoying this series. The Iron Flower was more about developing the characters' relationships with each other than the main story, but it still has some big plot points. Definitely recommend it!
