Absolutely love this book it is at my top favorite books in the fantasy  genre. I would say this book was kind of hard to envision into my brain. Maybe that was just me, but my favorite character, of course, is Nikos or also known as Ash. It was also very informative to have Sera’s trials of family included into this book series. There’s nothing more that need to be added to the series love the bits and pieces

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 enjoyed A Light in the Flame and it definitely answered some questions we have from Blood and Ash.   At times it did feel like I was rereading Poppy and Castille's relationship but I do think that is on purpose to show how similar they are and how the prophecy applies to both of them.  I am really interested to see how the last book in the trilogy ties everything up as I feel we still have a ways to go between where this book leaves off and what we know happens to Sera and Nyktos.

I got so many thought on this, I don’t think I can put them all into words… I just know, I knew it before as well, that this series is even better than FBAA and will be one of my all time favorites of my life to come. 
Don’t get me wrong, FBAA is astonishing, but I happen to enjoy this series even more.
I LOVE Nyktos, Sera, Saion, Ector 🥺 Aios, Bele, Rhahar, Rhain. And the Draken!! Nektas, Reaver and Jadis 🥺 they have my heart, all of them.
The world building was fantastic in this book, the character development… oh Sera and Nyktos are everything. I want to claw my way into this book and this world and protect them with everything I have.
The prophecies, the gods, the betrayals, the fighting, surviving, just everything!
Honestly, in the beginning, I thought I finally understood the prophecy, after reading TWOTQ and then rereading it in this book, I thought I knew what was going on, but then the ending happened. My mind is blown how Jennifer came up with all this. How? Just how?
I knew something was about to happen when the ending neared but I wasn’t prepared for that… left me reeling and I cannot wait for book three!!
The spicy scenes 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Daddy Nyktos knows what he does although he says he doesn’t. Still, all of them felt bigger, you know because of Sera‘s feelings being described to the reader and while I can acknowledge that you would refer to some scenes as just f***, I don’t think they were. They were always bigger. Pleasure for the sake of pleasure my ass, just like Sera realized 😏
Can’t wait for Ash to wreak havoc in the next book.

I cannot possibly wait another year for the next book to come out. I considered not reading the last fifty pages or so but then I couldn't resist and 1) I regret it because obviously the book ends in kind of a cliffhanger but 2) I don't regret it because this book made me feel all the emotions. Angst, tension, love, FRUSTRATION, hope... I'm very excited for the next book.
