I loved a kingdom of flesh and fire! I thought it was even better than from blood and ash - and I loved from blood and ash! Would 100% recommend for people who read fantasy, but be aware it is a new adult book so there is quite a few S£x scenes.

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as Shatter Me. I found it hard to concentrate and daydreamed multiple times throughout Unravel Me. I had to wait wayyyy too long for Warner’s return, and to be completely honest I found it quite boring until then. I know Kéra will be mad at me for this, but it made me want to DNF the series.
I did find it a lot better when Warner arrived on the scene though, and that’s why I rated it three stars. 
I’m still going to read Ignite Me, I’ve been waiting for Ignite Me the whole series because 😈😼 (iykyk) 
anyway don’t disown me daughter I’m sorry 😞

I loved Ruined! The reason I rated it four stars was because there was love interest separation at a point and I really hated that.
