There’s enemies to lovers and then there’s romanticizing Stockholm syndrome. I fear Blood and Ash might be the latter.
In the spirit of optimism, I’m giving this 3 stars. There were parts of the book that had me invested and I do feel the series has potential. The political dynamics driving the story are interesting, but the romance?? Problematic on several levels!! So jury’s still out on whether or not I will be carrying on with this series. I don't know how to feel.
