Was this book good? I don't know. The plot got forgotten about, half of the time the story didn't make sense or it contradicted itself. But I couldn't stop reading it??? I literally kept saying this is so bad and yet, I couldn't put it down.

Ew. Basically a rip off ACOTAR. Mature themes but the writing was childish and the book was filled with sexism, internalised misogny and slutshaming from the first page. Reads like a 12 year olds first wattpad novel after watching twilight especially bc of her silver hair (bfr), colour changing eyes, magically hairless body and her 5ft 3 status. Seriously, one of the characters is called Luna and she's an alpha werewolf. This got boring rq and the sexualisation of the fmc including the constant pointing out of the fact that shes an innocent virgin  who desperately needs to have sex according to literally everyone was really irritating. She was also bitchy to/ abou  every other female in the story. And the author literally only threw in the mothers abuse for pity points-so it seems as it was so badly written. The plot and worldbuilding is a raggedy thread barely holding the sexual assault/ harassment scenes together.  Also surprise surprise she has never felt this way about a (blue eyed blonde haired who's a towering giant with tattoos and plenty of money oh and also the king obviously! ) man before. Lastly the ml is a weirdo - " you're starting to look like a murder victim it's giving me a hard on "   , " you're definitely a virgin - your pureness is very rare" who specialised in toxic and borderline if not abusive relationships . Wouldn't recommend.

Please please look at the content warnings before reading this book. 
It’s horrible but weirdly addictive, like I want to stop but can’t

Never can be bothered to review usually but this was possibly the worst thing I’ve ever read. None of the characters had any redeeming qualities, in fact they were all irredeemable in my opinion, and all they talked about was sex and breeding (SEE TRIGGER WARNINGS). Honestly had to force myself to finish this so many times it was frightful.

Terrible. I nearly dnf several times. The world could be interesting but you can’t really tell because the characters are horrible and I hated them all. They never get better. There’s plenty of smut but it’s honestly gross because both characters just suck. Do not recommend.

By far the absolute crudest book I’ve ever read. I can’t honestly say I recommend it or that it is good writing, but obviously I finished it and it has a certain trashy flair I guess. Some of the tropes are fun (even though it’s also all totally over the top/overdone/really slaps you in the face). I’m hooked enough on the plot to want to keep reading the series, but can’t say I’ll ever reread or recommend it.

I’m going to be honest with you - this is not a good book. In fact at best the treatment of women in this is fucking disgusting. But am I going to read the next one? Hell yeah.

Flames of Chaos is definitely chaotic. The story seems very chunky, there could have been smoother transitions and I wish it had taken a little more for the characters to love/hate one another.
