Show notes
In this episode of The Margins Podcast, we return to Basgiath with Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros — a sequel packed with higher stakes, deeper bonds, and choices that cut close to the bone. We dig into the book’s themes of loyalty, power, and resilience, plus how it builds on the world and relationships that made Fourth Wing a phenomenon.
From TBR chaos to 5 Hard Questions, this episode covers it all — dragons, duty, heartbreak, and everything in between.
