I didn't find the first part of the book to be slow like others have said. There was a fair amount of action, but it was so tough to read. Kolis was vilainified to the extreme. He became an abuser in the grossest way and it all felt like a weird watpadd story. Like Sera's first escape attempt? Come on what was that. Between that and the diamond, it just felt like there was no creativity for those Sera and Kolis scenes. At times, it felt as if there was a big theme around SA and overcoming trauma in this book. I respect that, but it bothered me. I read fantasy for escape and was not mentally prepared for the content to be that dark.
My other probelm was with the side characters. This can probably be blamed on me not doing a re-read of the earlier books in the series, but I could not for the life of me remember the back story on the other characters. There are so many--perhaps too many? And in this book, it seemed like they had no purpose other than to verbally provide world building. There was SO much of that. As much as I like the fun banter dialogue, I would have liked a little more action.
The last 150ish pages were the slowest for me. Such a drawn out conclusion with Sera and Ash just going in circles saying the same thing. A lot of major events happened, but were written anticlimactically. It felt like the emphasis was on other, moments that were seemingly less critical to the plot.
I'm interested to see how this series will conclude. This book felt like it had a fairly closed ending. Here's to hoping there will be more revelations in the final book. This one didn't seem to give a lot, but might have possibly been a big set up for the end...of both Flesh and Fire and Blood and Ash.

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.
