While this book does have a lot less action than the first, I loved it even more! The spice is ramped up in this one and I am such a sucker for the fighting and denial of love between these two!😍 And don’t even get me started on that ending, that cliff hanger! Wow am I glad I started these books late so I didn’t have to wait to start the third hahaha

5.0

While I felt like From Blood and Ash (the first in the series) dragged on for 2/3 of the book  A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire was the opposite for me! The action started right away, and it felt like the world building aspects of the writing were interspersed within the plot and character development, which was a stark change from how the first book read. The will-they-won't-they struggle of Poppy/her love interest was tense and ever-changing, and the side characters felt way more real and felt like actual individuals with their own motivations! Again, in contrast to FBAA which sorely underdeveloped any character that wasn't Poppy/Hawke. I would definitely reread AKOFAF!

this book made me want to scream!!!!! there was an element of fake dating/arranged marriage. took a long time for there to be some REAL spicy scenes but once we got there, it was a LOT.

the fact that it took about 80% of the book being over for Casteel and Poppy to FINALLY admit they were head over heels for each other made me want to tear my hair out!!!!!!!!!! also, that scene towards the end of the battle of spessa’s end when casteel and poppy just decided to smash in the carriage while people battled around them… insane ! are you not embarrassed????? felt like it was trying to out-weird that one scene in ACOWAR with the sounds of the dying…. iykyk

overall i enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who liked to read amateur werewolf/vampire romances on wattpad. you know the ones… with the borderline psychotic relationships that were okay because they were destined to be together.

Entertaining. The plot is really good and the action and violence was intense. 

I like how many different characters there were and I easily began to find favorites among them. I look forward to the next novel.
