Summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her beloved Flesh and Fire series…

The only thing that can save the realms now is the one thing more powerful than the Fates.

After a startling betrayal ends with both Sera and the dangerously seductive ruler of the Shadowlands she has fallen madly in love with being held captive by the false King of the Gods, there is only one thing that can free Nyktos and prevent the forces of the Shadowlands from invading Dalos and igniting a War of Primals.

Convincing Kolis won’t be easy, though–not even with a lifetime of training. While his most favored Revenant is insistent that she is nothing more than a lie, Kolis’s erratic nature and twisted sense of honor leave her shaken to the core, and nothing could’ve prepared her for the cruelty of his Court or the shocking truths revealed. The revelations not only upend what she has understood about her duty and the very creation of the realms but also draw into question exactly what the true threat is. However, surviving Kolis is only one part of the battle. The Ascension is upon her, and Sera is out of time.

But Nyktos will do anything to keep Sera alive and give her the life she deserves. He’ll even risk the utter destruction of the realms, and that’s exactly what will happen if he doesn’t Ascend as the Primal of Life. Yet despite his desperate determination, their destinies may be out of their hands.

But there is that foreseen unexpected thread—the unpredictable, unknown, and unwritten. The only thing more powerful than the Fates…

A bit too much internal dialogue …

There was some good character development , but I was disappointed with how much of the story was Sera talking/thinking to herself .

The story at large didn’t evolve much compared to previous books , and I’m left wishing more had actually happened .

There were some useful context holes filled and interesting new characters … but I really hope for more action in future books!

Damn

I laughed. I cried. My heart was racing needing to know what happens but DESPERATELY not wanting this book to end. For my own sanity, I should have paced myself cause I know the wait for the next instalment is going to be pure torture.

Way too much of talk and repetitiveness

A nice continuation of the story of Sara and Ash but a lot of the story is repetition and a also a lot of focus on the Love matter between them. Would have preferred more action and development in the story.

I wanted to love it like the others but didn’t quite…

The first half of the book is very drawn out & practically has no Nyktos! The second half is really good & kind of makes up for it. It finishes very sweetly im very much looking forward to the next / last book in the series concluding but also sad it will be over!

A lot of words for not much

I like the story of these books but I get bored of the internal waffling and reoccurring conversations. Seems like this book could have been half as long and still as good.

The narrator

JLA never disappoints. Highly recommend. It was less dramatic than the other books in the series but still enjoyable

A+ world building in this universe

I liked the from blood and ash series so much that I wasn’t as invested in the from flesh and fire series at first but by the end of this book found I really grew to like the characters, the depth of the romance, the stakes and the additional dimensions added to this world between the two series. Still prefer the from blood and ash series but there are a good remedy for the book hangover while waiting for the other series to finish.

Repetitive and internal dialog nightmare

if you love JLA then it's worth the listen but honestly had to fight my way through this one compared to the rest.. it's a shame..
Sera's constant inner dialog was repetitive and annoying I the end...
there was not really any story development and what little there were wasnt up to par with the rest of what JLA has written.

I feel a little like this book was written as a "filler" and only because it brings in money. I hate saying that but it's the feeling I get from it.
Like it didn't get the "Love" and work as some of her other stuff have.

Upside: Narrator is still amazing!! and makes it worth it a little bit!
