Girll…. I know a lot of people hate on the FBAA series but I can’t deny that these prequels are so much better. There is also a lot of hate because she is making four books instead of just three but I think this prequels need a fourth book.
Anyway, I can’t wait for May to come…

SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THIS WOMAN AN EDITOR

Characters are good, plot is decent, but there is absolutely no need for pages and pages of repetitive internal dialogue. This book could have been cut in half or combined with the last book.

Took a while to get into, but once it was going it was excellent. Beautiful ending.

Ash and Sera have such a genuine chemistry it's beautiful to see

Nota enfadada: me parece un timo enorme que este libro cueste casi 10 € en versión digital, de verdad. No me lo quiero comprar en papel en inglés, quiero tenerlo en español para leer y releer, pero soy una yonqui y quiero leerlo ya. Creo que los libros merecen tener un precio justo que permita a las autoras vivir de ellos, claro que sí, pero no entiendo qué parte de proceso encarece tanto esto. Solo veo dólares en los ojos de la gente, y me enfada mucho.

Dicho esto, la verdad es que sigo siendo fan de JLA y sus libros siempre tendrán probablemente una estrella extra comparados con otros, solo porque me encantan como autora y por todo lo que me ha hecho disfrutar a lo largo de mi vida como lectora. Así que no soy la lectora más objetiva por aquí.

Como hay muchas cosas que ya sabemos por la serie original de Poppy me he pasado todo el libro esperando a que Sera se muriera. ella también se ha pasado todo el libro esperando morirse y pensando sobre ello, lo cual ha sido bastante cansino, la verdad. Hemos tenido a una Sera muy introspectiva que nos ha dado algunas cosas interesantes, pero me ha sobrado algún que otro diálogo interno, la verdad.

El personaje de Kolis me parece maravilloso. No de querer tocarlo ni con un palito, sino esa dualidad extraña de maldad con un toque de «es lo que hay que hacer» y nadie me entiende porque solo veis lo que queréis ver sumado a que no sé si tiene pocas habilidades sociales o que todo el mundo le tiene tanto miedo que le han dejado hacer cualquier cosa y ahora no sabe realmente lo que no está bien. No lo estoy excusando en ningún punto, solo digo que me mola mucho la complejidad que expresa. Podría ser un malvado de libro «quiero ser califa en lugar del califa» + «no tengo corazón» pero ha resultado ser mucho más y eso me ha hecho disfrutar del libro.

He echado en falta a Nyktos, aunque Attes me ha servido para pasar el rato.

No me ha gustado tanto como los anteriores, creo que se hace algo repetitivo y aunque pasan cosas es como muy lento hasta que realmente ocurre algo, pero igual le doy 4 estrellas porque Jenny me tiene living con estos personajes.

A Fire in the Flesh - 2.5-3⭐️
This is the third book in the ‘A Flesh and Fire’ series - this goes without saying but I’ll say it anyways, possible spoilers ahead!!

I think making this series 4 books instead of 3 was a mistake. This book is a perfect example of some authors taking the popularity of their books for granted. Don’t get me wrong, this was an entertaining book. People who know the type of reader I am know that I can be entertained and be lead to love a book very easily - but even this was a stretch for me. I think this book couldn’t been 350-400 pages and been as equally as entertaining. There really wasn’t a need for this book to be 630 pages.

This series started off so good. It had all the best bits from FBAA and presented it in a somewhat new way with an interesting FMC and MMC. It had such incredibly lovable side characters and an interesting, somewhat easy to follow world, and a clear villain. With the way this book turned out, it kinda ruined all that good for me. 75% of the book is spent repeating the same scenes over and over, the next 10% was creepy and the last 15% was essentially just an extended smut scene. Harsh to describe the book this way, I know, but it really felt like that for me. There were very minimal revelations in this book and the main question that we’ve been asking (and Sera has been asking - repeatedly IYKYK) for the past two books was no where near answered. There were some parts in the last 15% that was touching, but also felt like an easy cop out. The whole reason that there was so much stress about Sera Ascending was because Ash couldn’t do it due to him not having his heart - but then that suddenly doesn’t matter anymore? Why make that a plot device then? I love the fated mates trope as much as the next girl but common… I don’t know it just fell flat for me here.

So while I enjoyed some parts and was entertained, it’s getting a 2.5-3⭐️ from me. I wouldn’t start this series if I knew it was going to be this way honestly. Will I read the next one? Yeah, but that’s just because I need to finish the series - I made it this far. Also, the fact that there were barely any of the amazing side characters from the previous books in this one? A crime

3.5 stars

This book really dragged on and didn’t forward the plot as much as I hoped it would. The entire time in captivity with Kolis frustrated me because Sera kept being “I’m going to fake it till I make it like I’ve been literally raised to do”, wouldn’t be able to do it, and then ruined her chances. It was just on repeat.

Also, the spicy scenes in the last 10% of the book felt a little forced to me.

With that being said, I still enjoyed reading this and am glad I did. The few chapters when Sera was out of prison before ascending made me so emotional of the love and respect she had gained.

The book felt more repetitive than the second one, it needs an editor. The first and last few chapters were good, but the middle dragged on for far too long while nothing happened. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

This book was devastatingly heartbreaking, stressful, tense and then wholesome at the end. A great read but please check the trigger warnings before reading

This book was sooooo disappointing and boring. As someone else said this was like a meeting that could've been an email
