Honestly, while the book could’ve been shorter and less repetitive it provides some needed background and sets up nicely for the next from Blood & Ash book (which unfortunately I will be reading bc I want to know how the series ends). For some reason JLAs writing style really bothered me while reading this, it felt very juvenile and the I felt like there was an abundance of more “modern” phrases which took me out of the story. Some of the more spicy scenes were also cringey.

Overall, this book could’ve conveyed the necessary information without 700+ pages but it was a decent read.

adventurous tense

“You are who I fell in love with, Sera. Every part of you. Not just the easy stuff but the complicated, messy aspects, too. I love each part of you equally. You will always be what I cherish most, liessa.” Clasping my cheeks, he kissed the top of my head. “Nothing will ever change that.”
Spice/ 🌶️
This book is the conclusion of the Flesh and Fire series and let me tell you so much happened in the last book. I also that it ties in with the From Blood and Ash series very well.

DID NOT FINISH: 52%

Stopped listening at Chapter 30. I'll try to pick this up again later. At this point I don't feel like putting in 10 more hours (1.8 speed). The narrator is annoying me (she always does) and I think this book should be edited a lot tighter. It seems like so much repetition and unnecessary wordiness.

Even though I think this could have been way shorter, I enjoyed every bit of it. This goes into every detail I wanted, setting up the whole plot for from blood and ash. The ending chapter “the star” gave me full body goosebumps.
