A review by lilithmoon
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
I really enjoyed this book. It has pretty much all that I love about this genre in it, from a fast paced exciting plot to brilliant characters and some spicy romance.
This book was a little repetitive at the start but I had just finished the first book before reading this ome so this was probably just to remind readers who had taken a break between books. I really enjoyed the focus on relationships other than the main romance between Casteel and Penellaphe. The male comradery between mainly the wolven characters is funny and gives similar feelings of the [b:A Court of Thorns and Roses|16096824|A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)|Sarah J.

There were good character motivations that make for a fast paced and exciting book with unique characters and well formed relationships. The relationship between Casteel and Penellaphe is brilliant (very smutty though, you've been warned.)
My main problem with the book is that Penellaphe is underdeveloped mainly because she starts off the series as a badass flawless character so she really had nowhere to go in terms of development. The book is also a tad cleché (especially the ending) but that is pretty much expected in the YA fantasy genre at this point.
While the book isn't perfect it is a lot better than the first in the series and I had a very good timing reading it (...so much so that I read it all in two days!) I am very excited to start reading the next book.
