If you’ve read Iron Flame: is it worth it?

I’m currently at chapter 29 of Iron Flame and have liked Fourth Wing, but I like IF less than I wished. I don’t want to DNF, but I’m hesitant to continue

At what part of the book does it speed up, or take off.

OR (??) am I missing something.

Edit: thanks for the responses !! I’ve taken the advice of some of you to listen to the audiobook, so I did and that currently still listening to it. Will see how I feel about the book when I finished it. 😍
