From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

3.0

What frustrated me the most about this book is how much POTENTIAL was wasted. The story is SO INTERESTING and compelling! But the book needed more editing. The grammar and syntax issues interrupt the narrative and pull me out of the story. Additionally, I just don't find Poppy a relatable MC in this book. I can forgive that she's a little annoying, due to her upbringing and isolation, but I never fully latched on to her in From Blood and Ash. The twists are predictable, but I don't mind that. I wish there was more time devoted to real world building. A lot of details are shared about the world, but I still find it lacking dimension. The story kept me reading despite all this, which speaks strongly to the plot.
