Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

I liked FBAA, but LOVED KOFAF. Starts off a bit slow since there's some time dedicated to the aftermath of the betrayal of the last book. The only things that keep me from eating this higher is there's quite a few repetitive phrases and there's still a lot of unnecessary inner dialogue. Cas says something, Poppy spends two paragraphs telling you how she feels, then finally we get the reply.

But Poppy, Casteel and Kieran are the best and I love their banter. The lead up to the last quarter of the book ramps up then unleashes a whirlwind right up until the end. I am thankful to high hell that I already had the next book.

I enjoyed the book’s building on future concepts and plot points! Definitely more 🌶️ in this book! I found it repetitive at times, but overall liked the developments in this book.
Lots of great one liners! Has some cheesy parts too.

I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first one, but I did still enjoy it. There are certain parts that felt a bit too drawn out and there are certain things that get repeated too often (gee I wonder what Cas smells like?). But I do mostly like the characters (many more than Poppy and Cas) and I do enjoy the plot. Medium pace fantasy novel with a decent spice level. Interested to see if the third one bounces back for me.
