Better than the last book. Lots of crucial plot information. I read this book faster because I was actually interested this time. They bangin bangin. Sometimes it for real felt like every other chapter but, I understand the point of that within the relationship development of the characters. 3.75 because I found it more enjoyable than the last book. I like the way JLA is writing the characters in this series vs FBAA. The characters are more tolerable.

BE MINDFUL OF READING ORDER.
I’m realizing I should have read A Shadow In The Ember and then The War of Two Queens and THEN A Light In The Flame. I read AWOTQ before both of the books in this sub series and I will need to reread to capture all of the details.

Absolutely love this book it is at my top favorite books in the fantasy  genre. I would say this book was kind of hard to envision into my brain. Maybe that was just me, but my favorite character, of course, is Nikos or also known as Ash. It was also very informative to have Sera’s trials of family included into this book series. There’s nothing more that need to be added to the series love the bits and pieces

I loved how to really got to see Sera naturally shape herself into someone so powerful. How she shed the veil and put it back on to suit her needs. How she embraced her primal power despite believing it wasn't really her power. How she struggled and grew throughout this book was so compelling. Ash is also very... compelling. A shadow daddy of the first class.

All of the scenes with Jadis, Reaver, and Nektas are my favorite. I'm so glad JLA wrote so much of them into the story. Though, it also makes me sad to think of what we'll learn about Jadis in the next FBAA book. 

I still can't believe what happened to

Ector

at the end. I had gasped then held my breath while reading that part and I swear I felt Sera's pain.

I’m really enjoying the Flesh and Fire series (I actually enjoy it more so than the original From Blood and Ash series!). While A Light in the Flame was a little bit slow in the middle section, the book was super entertaining and the plot twists kept coming. And the ending!!! Cannot wait until October when the last book is the trilogy is released, as I’m desperate to read more Sera & Nyktos
