wtf mindfck??? THAT ENDING??????

before spoilers: i think? i liked the first book more but then i like this book more for the character development & dynamics! also i love seeing all the different locations that they travel to throughout this book

i think this book could’ve been condensed though— in the case of book 1, i didn’t think the world building was excessive or too bad and the length of book 1 was fine but this one could’ve been shorter, i think? it wasn’t bad but just a minor note

this is like pretty gory imo. pretty gruesome descriptions and lots of violence in pretty relative detail.

the writing got a little worse (compared to book 1) but it’s not like terrible or unbearable? i think sometimes the little quirks and jokes landed well but sometimes they were just a little too much, if that makes sense.

ALSO I LOVE KIERAN!!!!!!!!!

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.

2nd Read: Still a 5 star read for me. Though the first book is good, I still enjoy the second book better.

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.

Where From Blood and Ash left me hanging,  A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire gave me everything I wanted.

Poppie’s attitude towards Casteel made me soo mad until Spessa’s End when she finally grew a pair. (/spoiler)
