anacristinasv 's review for:
Born of Blood and Ash
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Okay so, it's hard to review the last installment of a series because you want to say everything, yet you can't because spoilers, so I will try my best to keep this just objective and spoiler free.
Born of Blood and Ash begins right after the events of A Fire in the Flesh, we are privy to a new side of Sera and Ash, a more... should I say, domestic? Not like their lives could ever be domestic, but it is the best way I can think of to describe it.
If you read the first 6 chapters of the book, then you probably know what I mean and once you start reading the book, you'll sure see what I mean.
Side note... if you already read the first 6 chapters that JLA release then you will probably agree with me that... chapter 4 was feral.
Not saying there are no other feral chapters through out the book, but from chapter 4 I knew that every time they could, they would be ravishing each other and it would be feral. I was like, stay in the room you guys!
Not complaining though.
Something I can complain about is Kolis.
Kolis needs to go.
We know we hate him.
We know we need him out of their lives, so by default we know he is very much a present ghost. I don't know how, but JLA made it so you can really feel Sera's hunted memories and how deeply he traumatized her through every word she wrote.
The way she went about describing how Sera has and is still dealing with her trauma must have been a hard process, but it was handled greatly (in my opinion.)
It wasn't glossed over, it wasn't put to the side, it is something she deals with, with it's ups and downs and it shows that it doesn't just go away, it takes time and she is slowly healing and that is okay.
So for Ash and Sera, entombing Kolis is very high up on the priority list, though they first need to come up with an efficient way to do it, which won't be easy.
We also have Sera learning about her Primal abilities and how they are developing. She is having a little bit of a hard time dealing with not only the changes that come with being a Primal, but also dealing with the fact that not long ago she was training to kill Ash and now she is married to him and both of them are trying to figure out a way to get rid of the true Primal of Death.
It is a bit much.
Thankfully she not only has a devoted husband who is ready to set fire to the rain and a group of allies that are ready to end Kolis and finally put an end to his reign.
I cannot say enough about the characters around Sera and Ash, specially Nektas and Attes. Both characters bring so much heart to the story, they are devoted and they just make the story so much better. Their sarcasm is on the next level and I loved it!
Armentrout did a great job bridging the Flesh and Fire series with the Blood and Ash series. It was a hard task because of what we started with and how the last book of that series ended, but honestly she set it up perfectly for what is to come in the next two books of the Blood and Ash series.
The conclusion of Sera and Nyktos' story is filled with so much of everything, love, learning, pain, feral passionate moments, and kick ass action that you will not be disappointed with the way Armentrout brough our favorite characters their version of a happy ending.
There are so many things I wish I could discuss with you guys, but sadly, I cannot because it would be spoilers!!!
