A great read, cool story, good character writing. Review: Incredible Continuation - As was true for the first book of this series, I absolutely loved this novel! As a continuation, this story did a great job starting off where it left us. The characters continued to be incredible and the world further expanded into even more to love. We finally got to see many of the places that were mentioned in the first book and they were fleshed out beautifully. While I wish the two main characters’ storylines came back together sooner (since they were apart for a hefty chunk of the beginning of this book), once they did come back together, it was done really well. At first, I was worried all of the plot wouldn’t be able to get tied together cleanly, but of course, I had nothing to worry about and it was done well. My only complaint from this book is that there really wasn’t as much romance as I had been hoping. Partially to blame for this, of course, is that the romance got cut short because of the large portion of the book where the characters were physically apart. I also, however, felt like some parts of the story dragged or were weighed down by details that didn’t need to be there. There were times I would just graze over parts of the book because they just got too wordy—or rewordy (you’ll see what I mean). What I mean by that, is that, for example, Ayla’s backstory of “that day” when her village burned down felt like it was repeated at least four times. It wasn’t new information, we had already heard it before, so it felt a little bit dragging to the story to be retelling it so many times. The characters also seemed to reflect on their romantic interactions from the first book more than they created new ones. I felt like the characters just continued to pine for a bit too long. It was good in the first book and, in part, it was good for some of this one. But at some point, I had been expecting that the second book in this series would have a little more actually happen between the two love interests. Their storyline was cute and I loved how they interacted with each other, but there were so many moments where they had the perfect set up for some romance and it hardly went anywhere besides maybe a little hand-holding which was a little disappointing. Overall, I loved the book. Maybe if it had been a tiny bit longer or a few of the repetitive parts were cut out and replaced with more romance so that we could see more of what Crier and Ayla were like as an actual couple, I would have been completely satisfied. I still think this story deserves five stars and it’s one I absolutely love to death. There were a lot of beautifully written passages and the plot really was wonderfully unique. I look forward to more from this author! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #318,587 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #74 in Teen & Young Adult LGBTQ+ Romance #181 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Romance #208 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,578 Reviews | ## Images ![Iron Heart (Crier’s War, 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1VgaPddumL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a great sequel *by E***E on November 8, 2025* It isn’t common for sequels to outshine an original but this one did.

Halfway into the novel the breaks come off and the author sprints towards the conclusion through a too convenient series of discoveries, rescues, and arrivals. What's a pity is that the world and mysteries Varela created is one worth exploring and pondering on, but the breakneck pace the story suddenly embarks on leaves little that doesn't suffer as a result. New characters are introduced and their arcs suddenly resolved, long lost treasures are almost literally stumbled upon, and the climax is so quickly resolved that even the characters joke about it. This was a duology that would have greatly benefited from another book. By wrapping the central plot so quickly, the author did a great disservice to its setting, characters, and the fantastic conflict between humans and Automae the first book began. Still, I consider this book worth reading, if only to muse on the book that could have been. 4/5, an extra star because I love the two leads and their relationship. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/218796510-iron-heart-crier-s-war-2](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/218796510-iron-heart-crier-s-war-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
