tacsrm 's review for:
Born of Blood and Ash
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I originally gave this book 3.5/5 but the more I think about it after finishing it, the more annoyed I get. I re-read the first 3 books before picking this up, I was invested in this story and I’m angry I wasted my time.
So, around 70% deep we find out Sera is pregnant. There were hints throughout the whole book alluding to her pregnancy, so the reader realises way before Sera does, which pissed me off. Not only do we find out she’s pregnant, we also find out that they conceived the first or second time Sera and Ash had sex. So, she has been pregnant throughout the whole series basically. Be so for real right now!!! The fact that the series is supposedly only over the span of 12 weeks… Not good. I hate the pregnancy trope, she is only 20 years old!!! Not to mention, a lot happens after these books finished, so why did we have to focus on the pregnancy? Am I missing something? Why couldn’t this have waited until after the series ended?
The dialogue was cringy too at some points. I wish we had more of Attes and Lailah too. The whole fight with Kolis lasted one chapter and he was captured very easily. All of the inner circle basically became the new primals.. like ok.
The plot and info dumping was too much. So much information that didn’t matter at all, and I didn’t understand most of it? Idk if I’m stupid or what but the lore was too much to keep up with in 4th book. Boring. Found myself skim reading a lot and having to go back to re-read.
I’m severely disappointed :(
