Wordy, which is on trend for this author, but this particular book was really beautiful. My favourite from both FBAA and FAF so far series so far.

Sera and Nyktos taking the trope of two idiots in love to a new level. This entire series/franchise has a clutch on me. It was repetitive at times, especially Sera’s inner thoughts. But honestly I can relate. I have repeatedly told myself negatives about myself no matter how I was told different. And honestly the whole “Nyk can’t love” is bullshit cause 👀 lbffr

I loved this one. The best book between both series so far. The development that Sera and Ash make in their relationship but also in themselves is amazing. Jennifer Armentrout does a great job of showing these sweet intimate thoughtful moments in between hot and sexy passionate scenes.

The mix of adventure through exploring more of illeseeum, swoon-worthy romance, and anticipation for how they would develop a plan to defeat Kolis had me unable to put it down.

The betrayal at the end and the revelation of truths was so wild and sets up the next book. I’m excited to see how the series will unfold.

For the first half I liked this better than the first, but I was less convinced as it dragged on. I wanted more personality from the secondary characters.

3.75

Better than the last book. Lots of crucial plot information. I read this book faster because I was actually interested this time. They bangin bangin. Sometimes it for real felt like every other chapter but, I understand the point of that within the relationship development of the characters. 3.75 because I found it more enjoyable than the last book. I like the way JLA is writing the characters in this series vs FBAA. The characters are more tolerable.

BE MINDFUL OF READING ORDER.
I’m realizing I should have read A Shadow In The Ember and then The War of Two Queens and THEN A Light In The Flame. I read AWOTQ before both of the books in this sub series and I will need to reread to capture all of the details.
