I’ve been a huge fan of the Flesh and Fire series (more than Blood and Ash), but this finale was a bummer. The beginning of the book dragggs as Sera narrates her thoughts and convos without ever leaving her room. When we finally moved on I was excited for the big reveals and connection to the sequel series, but it never came. Instead there are a few pages at the end that span the gap in a quick narration. I love the characters and the story, but what a major letdown. No finale should feel like it could be skipped.
