ofmeganreads's review against another edition

It was too much yes and no. The I hate you and the Oh his eyes and that I want you. I don't like the sexual content. I always skip pages, but this just felt like horny characters that don't know how to control themselves and have a civilized conversation. Plus, the gruesome history of the kingdom is too much to handle. It just isn't a book for me and I normally enjoy fantasy novels with enemies to lovers. This book is a walking disaster of triggers that I couldn't continue reading.

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire picks up right where From Blood and Ash ends. Like the first book, I found many things frustrating, but I still ultimately enjoyed it. It answers some questions from the first book while introducing new and even more mysterious questions, expanding on the rich histories of Atlantia, the Ascended, the wolven, and individuals (e.g. Poppy and Casteel). I found our couple’s relationship development in the second book more interesting and satisfying than in the first, and I’d say fans of enemies-to-lovers arcs will enjoy FBAA’s sequel more than the first book.

Overall, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire carries the same issues I take with From Blood and Ash, but by this time I’ve mostly gotten used to it and still enjoyed the novel.

If I were not so busy with school, this book would have been finished in a day or two!

I don't know how she did it, but this was better than the first book. I was hooked from the beginning of the first sentence. I highly recommend that you purchase all books at one time because now I don't know what to do with myself. 

I did have to read the last chapter twice... but thats on me; I stayed up until 4am to finish the book. LOL I suggest to stop reading when all the words are blending together. 

I can't wait to read the next book!
