It’s no secret that the two series that JLA has created are high favorites of mine. I love them, most because of Sera and Poppy being bad ass FMCs and plus size on top of that.

But this book….oh my god, I picked it up. Put it down, paused it, unpaused it. I couldn’t get through it. And it wasn’t till nearly 50% of the book that I realized why….I didn’t give two shits about Kolis or anything related to him.

The moment that annoying ass psychopathic man waltzed into this book - I hated him. And Callum, fuck him too. If I had to read any more about his he was psychotically “in love” with Sotoria I was gonna ram my head through a wall.

I scanned through to find the exact spot Ash comes back into the picture just to give myself motivation. And amazingly the moment I did - finished the book in a week.

And the moment we got back to Ash and Sera I was back into the story, the plot and everything else. And I know that’s bad - cause Kolis is the big conflict. But I felt I was reading the same scene over and over again during Sera’s time with him.

The scene (and no spoilers) between Ash and Sera in the lake toward the end of the book - oh it almost brought tears to my eyes it was so emotional. And then the AFTER. I had to put the book down cause one second I’m panicking, then I’m stressed, then I was crying, and then it was getting steamy.

Now time for the last book - so sad this series is ending. Rumors are FBAA is becoming a show. I would love that but I fear it’ll be butchered and I’ll hate it. ESPECIALLY if Poppy isn’t plus sized!!

a good amount of the book was rough to read because of everything Sera goes through but I found all the emotional processing around the traumatic events very relatable and well written

I just can't get enough of Sera and Nyktos and their love story. I am obsessed with them. And the entirety of the Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire series. The main characters, supporting characters, banter, tension, gods, dragons, magic, smut- it's all so well thought out. Sera is such a strong and badass leading lady and I adore her wholeheartedly. Dying to read the next book that comes out next week!

This book felt a little like an extended novella. I felt like some parts dragged and there was a lot of lore dump. I do love Sera and the way her anxiety is portrayed. It’s so nice to see a badass fmc with anxiety. I love the way Ash cares for her but Nektas is really a favorite. So mature and reasonable . I wish the majority of the book wasn’t spent with Kolis. I hate him and I’m not a huge fan of books where the FMC and MMC are apart for so long.
