3.0

I love me a good steamy vampire romance. HOWEVER: 1. if you are gonna write high fantasy, dont use phrases and concepts that literally never would happen in a pre-industrialization world. Like why tf are you making a "fast food" joke? 2. THERE 👏 IS 👏 NO 👏 NEED 👏 FOR 👏 GRAPHIC 👏 DESCRIPTIONS 👏 OF 👏 VIOLENCE 👏 AGAINST 👏 WOMEN 👏 IN 👏 A 👏 FANTASY 👏 BOOK. Honestly, there are very few situations that this type of violence should be used in any fiction book.

TBH if I wasn't such a sucker for this series it would be rated lower.

This book spent way too long in the first half hitting you over the head with Kolis and the angst only for all the pieces to unroll roughly as expected.

5.0

Date Started: March 6th 2024
Date Finished: March 16th 2024

Characters: Sera & Nyktos

Rating:  6 🌟 s

Sensitive Themes:
Remember the themes from previous books in the Blood and Ash world

Review:
I finished this  and what a great way to start off where A Light in the Flame left off on a cliffhanger. The journey the characters are still going on, keeps me continuing on with the Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire world and I cannot wait for the last book in this series to come our. It also continues to make me cry, laugh and feel anger at the main characters as well as the side characters actions, But like I said I love it so very much. Highly recommend both series if you want to either continue or start them.

God was this painful. The last two books could’ve been one if she’d just shaved away the bullshit. This one’s filler mostly consisted of preachy monologues about what SA is and why it’s wrong. Which is true but didn’t need to be in here 😩 Also spoilers…..

Bro they totally went Bella and Edward when she ascended. With the world ending around them, she woke up and they proceeded to fuck 3 or 4 times before addressing ANYTHING else.
