idk what people (booktok) are on about bashing the blood and ash & flesh and fire series’s. they’re blinded by acotar (which to be fair i have yet to read) these books im honestly obsessed with. i slurp them up like the best noodle soup money can buy. highly recommend reading the blood&ash series first. the only note i have is in the dialogue its a little too modern for my taste but thats just me being finicky.
