From Blood and Ash

Overall I was disappointed with this book considering the overwhelming reviews it’s received. The plot twists weren’t twisting. Unfortunately, I was able to predict the plot as early as the 20% through. The dialogue and inner dialogue throughout the story (especially as you near the end) also feels really repetitive. I started the second book but stopped 15% through. The next book just feels like a repetition of the dialogue and dynamics within this book.

I enjoyed this more than expected. It has my fav elements- romance, adventure, fantasy, historical civilizations, political unrest, 🌶️, strong mfc. I read this quickly and am on to the second.

IT TOOK ME 15 CHAPTERS TO GET INTO BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! The slow burn is slow and sexy and amazing! The foreshadowing is definitely on point. Definitely recommend.

Such a good start to the series but a little too long

Liked it and was intrigued, did take a while to capture my interest
