I enjoyed every minute of this book & didn’t  want it to end. I believe this is the best of all of JLA’s novels. The pacing was perfect & sentence structure was much easier to understand. There was still moments of modern language but I could over look that because everything else was amazing for me. 
The relationship between Nyktos & Sera was one of the best I think I have ever read. I love them & their story so much. The spice was outstanding, the banter was spot on & the tension throughout the whole book was perfection. 
I also really appreciated sera’s anxiety rep, it felt very real & the author explored it with nuance - I felt very seen in those pages. 
Overall I think it’s my favourite of the whole FBAA world & I can’t wait for the last book!

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.

I am in love with both Nyktos and Sera. There’s so much nuance in their relationship, their dynamic so fresh. The lord is a little tough to keep up with sometimes, but so so interesting. Especially when you remember what is happening in the main FBAA series.

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.

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.
