I loved this book and the development of Nyktos and Sera, but it felt like a kingdom of flesh and fire, a filler book that I just kept wanting for something to happen and it was either rushed or pushed further into the series plot line.

Not entirely sure how I feel about this book, neither loved it or hated it, but probably my least favourite book from this world. 

I found the pacing to be slow in places and other bits unnecessarily dragged out. I will say that I will hand on heart will always fall into the emotive writing when its comes to Sera’s mental health, it gets me every time. I do like trying to link all the bits in the massive FBAA web but I did find myself ridiculously confused in other places. I also don’t feel I love the side characters as much in this series (Draken excluded cos who wouldn’t love Jadis), and I think thats one of the reasons I love FBAA so much. Interested to see what Kolis will do with this latest development though.

TWs: depictions of gore, violence, corpse depictions, ref to SA, panic attacks, anxiety and depression

3.5/5 (give us half star ratings!!)

This is honestly feeling like the stronger series at this point compared to blood and ash. And I do think JLA is doing better at being less repetitive with the inner monologue. I still feel like the plot goes around in circles a bit too much and the book could lose 200 pages without losing anything essential. I’m invested, I just want it to get there a bit quicker ;)

Can we get the next books now? Please? Cause I am NOT OKAY. Is this the part where she goes into stasis? Or does that happen in the next book? Now I want to reread FBAA damn it.
