It is LITERALLY PERFECT FOR ACOTAR FANS!!!!!!!!!! Even though on the back of the hardcover I own it clearly states "...perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas..." I still didn't believe it. Until, I finished it. I think pretty much anyone who loves A Court of Mist and Fury would love From Blood and Ash. For me, this book made me physically react in a humorous hysterical way due to major plot twist and the "big reveal" towards the end of the book. Also, there are certain scenes that were toe-curling saucy. The adaption throughout the book was SPECTACULAR!!!
I LOVE this book!!! I need #2 NOW!!!

For example, the mass panic and chapters after the duke’s death were well written and Poppy killing Lord Mazeen was such a powerful momentSpoiler
Hawke being a traitor was not really surprising and neither is the fact that he’s Casteel – when I heard Casteel’s name for the first time, I was sure that Poppy would fall in love with him, and I was not so wrong about this. Right at the beginning, I predicted as well that Poppy would be some half thing – and I was right: she’s half vampire, half human. I’m generally not a fan of this twist that some characters have secret identitiesSpoiler
Poppy fails at killing him and they sleep with each other instantly afterwards. He makes sexual comments all the time, even though Poppy says how much she hates himSpoiler
he’s centuries old (please not this again)Spoiler
of course, like it’s usual for a mentor figure, he has to dieGraphic: Death, Blood, Confinement, Gaslighting, Murder, Physical abuse, Sexual content, and Violence
