Okay so Sera and Ash are my favorites I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again (soz poppy and cas) but I just love them. Sera is THAT GIRL and will always be that girl. What I didn’t love was how things went unresolved in the end just because they were fucking for the entirety of the end. Which like I get it you thought she was dying but like, dude what about her trauma from being held captive by Kolis? What about Attes? The draken? The other primals??? The world didn’t stop turning. I get it was probably to set up the final book but good god we get it you love each other. Still heavily enjoyed because they are my fave JLA couple.

Still a good entry in the series, but JLA can tend to get repetitive and lost in characters inner worlds and thoughts. I felt that in the middle and definitely at the end of the book. Didn't really end on a strong cliffhanger - I know there's unfinished politics, but it wasn't focused on at the end here and I wish it were. 

Otherwise, I enjoyed it and bawled when the final quarter of the book started.

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!!

I might be done with this author. Ended up skimming most of the book because of the repetitive interior monologue. Also the first third was cringe.

I had to deduct some points from this one because theres like a whole chapter that's literally just Ash and Sera having sex. It's like 8 times and I'm sorry but no one can come that much in a sitting lmao it was tedious to read through when the steam is usually so strategically placed.
