This is one of my favorites in the whole FBAA and FAF combined series. It's very emotional, with enough sweet bits to soften the dark, heavy parts, and the smut is really good because of that emotional aspect. I will warn readers that there is a bodily violation that isn't precisely sexual but still carries that sort of weight, and it really bothered me much more than I would have expected, given that, as I said, it's not actually sexual. Like all the books in this series, it suffers from poor copy editing and info-dumping, but not nearly as much as earlier books.

The ending of this book dragged, and I liked A Shadow in the Ember more than the sequel. Nytkos has to make Sera his Consort in order to protect her from Kolis and the other Primals. Nyktos and Sera have to work together to destroy Kolis. Sera learns the truth about the ember that is inside her and the fact that she has

Sotoria's soul inside of her

. Fans of romantasy will enjoy this book. There is a lot of angsty scenes between Sera and Nytkos.

Content: violence, sex, mentions of suicide

Honestly loving this series more than FBAA, absolutely love Nyktos and Sera. At times it’s definitely felt repetitive especially between the two series and some of the plot lines etc but I’m committed to finishing the series so going to push through.
