Iron Flame Spicy Chapters List
Yes. Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros is a moderately spicy sequel in a fantasy romance series. There is “spice” including dirty talk, kissing, and/or sex in chapters:
- 12
- 20
- 27
- 37
- 48
- 60
That said, there are 66 chapters total, so spicy romance plays a relatively small role overall.
Iron Flame Spice Level Review
Spice Level Rating
I rated the spice level of Iron Flame as a 3 out of 5.
So, what does this mean? Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- 1: kissing and very mild romantic interactions
- 2: closed-door romance, in which sexual encounters happen, but the reader doesn’t hear details about them (it fades to black, so to speak)
- 3: a few open-door romance scenes with some details of sexual encounters
- 4: more than a few open-door romance scenes and/or more explicit details of sexual encounters
- 5: Call it “smut” or whatever else suits your fancy. There is a lot of sex and a lot of details about it. You may need to fan yourself off while reading!
For the sake of comparison:
- I also rate the Fourth Wing spice level and the Onyx Storm spice level as a 3 out of 5.
- I rate the ACOTAR spice level and the ACOMAF spice level as 3 out of 5, but it’s a bit milder in those books.
- I rate most of Colleen Hoover’s spiciest books around a 4 out of 5.
- I rate the popular Things We Never Got Over series by Lucy Score as a 5 out of 5.
a Note from jules
I’ll also note that I prefer books with a spice level around a 1 or a 2 (and nearly never finish a 5), and I thought that the spice level of Iron Flame was just right! There’s a bit of it for those who like it, yet not too much for those who don’t. You can also easily skip past it if you don’t like it.
Age Rating: For Adults 18+
Iron Flame‘s age rating is for New Adults and Adults aged 18 and over.
This is, in part, due to the explicit sex scenes in it. However, also note that there are many adult themes of war throughout, such as violence and death, as well as cursing and other adult language.
Would I allow a teen to read this? I probably would not. However, each parent can make that choice independently based on the information provided here.
If you want a more mild fantasy romance series for your teen, I recommend the bestselling Divine Rivals series.
