I had to google so much throughout the book and often didn’t even get answers there.
I did love the story though, the characters are great, I love the draken especially!
Sera is a very relatable main character and her mental health problems are well written. It was amazing to see the others support her and build her up.
The chemistry between Nyktos and her is off the charts, and not just in their spicy scenes. My favorite scene was

Not entirely sure how I feel about this book, neither loved it or hated it, but probably my least favourite book from this world.
I found the pacing to be slow in places and other bits unnecessarily dragged out. I will say that I will hand on heart will always fall into the emotive writing when its comes to Sera’s mental health, it gets me every time. I do like trying to link all the bits in the massive FBAA web but I did find myself ridiculously confused in other places. I also don’t feel I love the side characters as much in this series (Draken excluded cos who wouldn’t love Jadis), and I think thats one of the reasons I love FBAA so much. Interested to see what Kolis will do with this latest development though.

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 ;)
