A let down after how much I enjoyed ALITF. It was just very slow, and a bit repetative. And I love Sera and Nyktos and while I didn't think the they'd immediately find their way back to one another quickly, most of the book they're apart. But once they're back, hoooo boy.

Most of my reading journal notes involve Kolis and

JLA does an amazingly good job at making him extremely unlikable. I think that's the point so good job.

It gets triggering or at the very least uncomfy at times so don't go into this lightly.

I'm thankful that there will be another book since the connection between FBAA and FAF hasn't fully hit home yet, but this definitely could have been edited down. I didn't have a bad time reading it and did thoroughly enjoy parts, especially Sera being her bad ass self, but it was almost a filler book.

The 40-50 pages of straight smut was too much. The first 70% was so fast paced, and then things got sad and smutty. It did prove that what was done for Soul of Ash and Blood can be done in approximately 3 chapters.

2.5

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry for the 2.5 stars (I love you Sera and Ash!!) but I wasn’t the biggest fan of like the first 400 pages tbh. There’s just too much talking:(
The rest was great and all but idk this did feel kind of unnecessary and too loooong.
Best thing about this book was Attes’ character being explored more.
