SPOILERS4.5 stars plot heavy + romance heavy + smut heavy = TOP TIER I finished this last night and fuck me, I’m still reeling from everything that happened. I just have one question: HOW THE HELL DO I GO ON WITH MY LIFE NOW? honestly, I just came for the romance and romance only. with a side of plot😊 and i was not disappointed! usually by the third or fourth book in a series, the romance is the main thing for me. when I’m so in love with a ship and adore them with all my heart then everything...

WELL. If that wasn’t an EPIC ending, I don’t know what is. 🤭😵🔥 If you’re hoping to get a coherent, non-rambling review in which I carefully examine all of the themes and crafty bits of this book ... you’re out of luck. 😂 Instead, you’re going to get me straight up FREAKING OUT because this book has left me IN A STATE ... of awe, of disbelief, of adoration ... I’m feeling all the things, y’all. "There cannot be equality in power if there is no choice." This book has more of everything that I lo...

Trying to decide if I need to begin mourning one of my favorite series or not.1. The book starts off strong.It was very much like the series I know and love. There was action. There was tension. There was suspense. We hit the ground running.2. The middle draaaaaaaaags.And by middle, I mean the middle 80%. I’ve never read War and Peace, but I imagine it feels something like this did. I kept falling asleep after a few pages and then started actively avoiding reading altogether. Nothing happens. An...

✎ 1st read April 2021: 3.5 stars✎ 2nd read March 2022: 3.5 starsI needed a refresher in preparation of The War of Two Queens and now I'm ready. "Isbeth may have her Revenants, her knights, soldiers, and those who support her." My grip tightened. "But I have the draken." this quote has the same energy as SONG: Meghan Trainor - What If IOne thing for sure, if you didn't enjoy A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire , you will sure as hell not enjoy A Crown of Gilded Bones , because it's as slow-pa...

DNF @ 10% - No RatingI’m gonna press pause on this one…I am just bored, quite frankly. I didn’t love the first two, but kind of wanted to at least find out how this ended; however, I was just made aware that this is still not going to be the concluding book…so I’m out. I can’t see myself sitting with these characters, this story, and this writing for another 1000+ pages. I don’t hate read and I think I’ve decided this just isn’t for me. Maybe I’ll pick it up again later, maybe not. Happy this se...

From Blood and Ash: ★★★★A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire: ★★★2 1/2 starsThe Crown of Gilded Bones was one of my most anticipated books this year. These books are like junk food for me. High quality? No. But very enjoyable. And sometimes that’s all we need. The first book was tons of fun. I had a few issues with the second book but I still enjoyed it anyway. However, this installment simply wasn’t as good as the first two. This book continues directly from the cliffhanger of AKOFAF and the first chapt...

Before you ask: There's no Joining.3.75 “Bravery is a fleeting beast, isn’t it? Always there to get you into trouble, but quick to disappear once you’re where you want to be.” I love and respect you immensely, Jennifer L. Armentrout because of which I really want to be biased and rate this book five stars straightaway. But I'm afraid I don't want to mislead people. I want to convince you all to read it (especially for the last 20 chapters) but I'm afraid you might resent the middle, slow part...

dnf I REFUSE TO TORTURE MYSELF MORE THAN I ALREADY DID WITH THIS BOOK. I thought From Blood and Ash had ‌zero plot. Or maybe the plot was invisible. Then I tried the second book and realised this one has even less plot than the first one. After that, I tried this trash. And guess what! Turned out this one has even ✨less✨ plot than the second one which I thought wasn’t even possible. Did I mention the first book has no plot?Ugh, this book made me realise I'm not giving enough credits to my histo...

Hear me out: Poppy, Cas, and Kieran & that’s all i’m gonna say about that 👀__________________________________________ New Review: OKAY. First half will be spoiler free and second half will have spoilers. This book was so freaking epic. Books 1 and 2 left us with so many questions they hurt my head and then the real purpose of Book 3 was to answer all those questions (which gave me an even bigger headache tbh). Do I love this series for the world-building and the plot? No, not really because i’m

1.5 stars This was just as info-dumpy as AKoFaF—no it was worse actually. But I have a feeling that if i had known it was gonna be like this prior to reading, I would’ve liked it a tiny bit more(?). Like I once said, i like to be mentally prepared for what i’m getting myself into. So that’s a lesson learned for the next books in the series—I’ll just wait for the reviews instead of diving in head first.That being said, this was just exhausting af. It felt like the world building and info dumpi

That ending completely wrecked me.I went from being punched in the guts to screaming to silently sobbing to cackling like an insane lunatic.Oh how I can't wait to see the chaos that's coming and more dragonsThe Crown of Gilded Bones was far from perfect yet I still wholeheartedly loved it. The expansion of the world and it's creatures was just amazing. Surprisingly, me—who's horrible at keeping up with too many new terms thrown in books, actually was able to follow through all that was going on

OMG, I NEED THIS.

“The villain is always the hero in their story, aren’t they?” OH. MY. GOD. I'm still reeling from the last part of the book. The ending completely wrecked me. But at the same time, Poppy is so fucking awesome... 😭😭😭 ✅ Strong badass main character✅ Amazing secondary characters✅ Perfect love interest✅ Sweet and sexy romance ✅ Funny banter✅ Plot and pace✅ Action ✅ Gods and mythology ✅ Drakens!!!! 🐉❗️❗️ Huge cliffhanger 😩 4.5While I am madly in love with the characters and the world-bu

EDIT: There was no Joining but, damn, did I love the theme of that backstory reveal and ofc the amount of fun. Review to come.—★—I appreciate how JLA understands that she’s left us all hanging off the cliff edge with that ending and intends to publish this in April 2021.Y’all, just “hang” in there for six more months.
