Reviews with content warning for Suicide attempt - A Light in the Flame

I love this series.
This world is the one true escape. This book has made me feel every emotion I have. I felt it deeper than I thought I could feel a book story and I fear I am never going to find a book that gets to me as much as this devastatingly beautiful world did.

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!

So this was super predictable in many fantasy-reads ways. But it was also testy and turns and satisfying too??

I definitely got annoyed at the beginning, in the middle and huffy when I got to the end. But that didn’t mean I didn’t think it was worth it.

The feels are all there, the writing is great, and I was entertained. It was satisfying to read a trophy fantasy book that was well written.

I’d recommend it, but don’t expect ground breaking new fantasy territory.
