idk what people (booktok) are on about bashing the blood and ash & flesh and fire series’s. they’re blinded by acotar (which to be fair i have yet to read) these books im honestly obsessed with. i slurp them up like the best noodle soup money can buy. highly recommend reading the blood&ash series first. the only note i have is in the dialogue its a little too modern for my taste but thats just me being finicky.

Pretty good! I’m definitely absolutely obsessed with Ash. One of my favorites of that trope in a long time. Love the side characters. Hoping for more resolution and clarity in a war of two queens but we’ll see. !!

So fun!!! I loved it just as much as FBAA. I definitely thought it was a stand-alone prequel but it’s the first in a prequel series.
