If you know me, you know how deeply I love the Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire series. I already knew this book would be 5 stars. I'm not sure why I didn't read it earlier, other than that the time didn't feel right. Still, it didn't stop me from placing a hold on the audiobook when my library acquired it.

It arrived, and I knew I was ready. I began to listen and read the entire book in ONE SITTING. It happens so rarely, and yet, I'm already considering a reread. The characters? The foreshadowing? The tension???

There isn't enough space to explain everything I loved about this book. Rest assured, I will be annoying everyone with my recommending JLA because I'm so obsessed. It kills me knowing that book 2 hasn't even been written yet (through no fault of JLA because she's already doing so many things). Nevertheless, if @brambleromance has an extra arc of book 2 when the time comes, I would do (almost anything to get my hands on it.

Also, so many of my favourite Flesh and Fire scenes were reflected in this book, and I nearly squealed in public.

PS. That ending wrecked me 😩
