This Year's Best New Fantasy Books Will Fill Your Days With Magic

Rebecca Yarros's "Fourth Wing" burst onto the scene as one of the big fantasy hits of 2023, and now its sequel, "Iron Flame," is already here! After narrowly surviving a year of brutal training as a dragon rider — and a devastating battle with tragic consequences — scribe-turned-warrior Violet is far from out of danger. The new commandant is on a personal mission to destroy her (or get her to betray her love, Xaden), and Violet's knowledge of the empire's secrets puts her on a collision course with even more dangerous foes and with forces that, once released, could change everything.
