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!

Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. OF COURSE IT ENDS THERE. SO FUCKING GOOD. I cannot wait until December 2023.

I've only read the Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire books from JLA's arsenal, but I think this is her strongest book in the universe thus far. It feels far more polished and better edited than the others, with less word repetition and excess word fluff, while still maintaining all the things I love about her books in this universe -- the plot PLUS fluffy scenes that don't need to be there to further the plot but are.
