I love Nyktos & Sera. I think I actually like the background story more than Blood & Ash. Their love story is frustratingly incredible. I can’t recommend the Flesh and Fire series enough to people. Second book in and I still need more.

I am doing the alternate reading with B&A and F&F intertwined. Once again, the banter is chefs kiss🤌  Sera and Nyktos are the power couple I needed. I love every aspect of them! The side characters are amazing and keep me entertained and enthralled. The Primals, minus Veses (lol), are cool to learn more about and get a feel of. The plot, the scheming, the realms, and the romance make it so easy to lose yourself in these books. I'm jumping right into the next and am dying to see what is to come for the couples of both series 👑🩸

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.

I really like this series of JLAs. I do think it’s kind of repetitive of the FBAA storyline and characters, BUT I think that’s okay because I kind of like this story better. And I think it also helps show the parallel between Sera and Poppy’s stories since they’re ultimately connected and related. 

This story started off slow and I felt like they were having a lot of sex (don’t get me wrong I love shut), but there wasn’t much plot development. It did pick up in the last half and once that happened I had a hard time putting the book down. The ending kind of snuck up on me and I felt left a lot of plot lines and points open that I thought would be resolved but I guess that’s because there’s going to be another book lol so I’ll just wait to find out! Overall it was a good story and plot with a twist at the end I wasn’t expecting, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
