About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the thrilling conclusion to her beloved Flesh and Fire series…

The line between love and obsession has never been wider.

While Sera is finally free of Kolis and back with those she loves, not everything is calm. Memories of all she’s endured still haunt her, but Sera finally has hope for a future with the other half of her heart and soul. Nyktos desires, loves, and accepts every part of her—even the monstrous bits she still battles.

More than ever, Sera and Ash have everything under the realms to fight for, and Nyktos has no doubt Sera is fit to be the Queen of the Gods. But she must find that faith within herself if they hope to convince the other Courts to support them against Kolis and make Iliseeum and the mortal realm better, safer places for all.

But as Sera begins to piece together the importance of her bloodline and the true meaning behind the foreboding prophecy, it becomes clear that everything that has happened and is yet to come is much bigger than Kolis and his dark obsessions.

They cannot help but wonder exactly how much influence the Fates have had and what their ultimate goal is. What Sera does know for sure is that they can trust very few—including her.

A battle between the gods is brewing, and heartbreaking losses are imminent with the true Primal of Death strengthening. With a family of the heart willing to battle by their side, can Sera and Nyktos stop Kolis before he destroys the realms, or will it all disappear in a fiery inferno of blood and ash?

And the line between justice and vengeance has never been so thin.

Now I think I may have put this book on a pedestal and given it too high expectations. Unfortunately I found the majority of the story slow and unnecessary. But it does end in a satisfying way for the main characters so I'm not mad. The problem with reading the prequel after the original story means that there is plot armour and you don't need to worry about certain characters which in some ways is nice but in others means there's no tension. Don't let my review impact your decision; this book can and should be adored if you want it to be.

Slow but ultimately satisfying

Goodness me so many feelings & thoughts… still trying to process all the information but overall I still loved it. Maybe not as much as the previous books but even so a great read. I can’t help feeling slightly disappointed we didn’t get to experience the twins being born & their lives & it also was a shame not to delve deeper into other characters. I love ash & attes my 2 favourite characters. Was hoping for more of an ending for attes but maybe he’s included in the next book. It will be interesting how it all comes together in the next book. I still have questions lol…

Mixed feelings but the second half of the book made up for it!

Holy fucking fuck. I don't have words. When you've been waiting for something for so long, sometimes the end result turns out to be anti-climactic and disappointing. This was one of those rare cases in which the wait was worth absolutely everything because this book wrecked me in the best way. There's something about the way ILA brings this world and her characters to life that I can't get enough of. I felt so many emotions reading this book, I actually sobbed so many times and I was once again blown away by Armentrout's brain. The representation of so many complex things from SA survivors and trauma to anxiety and depression was handled so beautifully. I could feel Sera's pain and desperation in her thoughts and actions; I am not an SA survivor but I know many who are and who agreed with me on now she handled dealing with her trauma was realistic.
Armentrout's writing is so beautiful and poignant, I could feel the love Sera and Ash felt for each other through the pages, their chemistry is tangible and full-bodied. Her characters are also well rounded, each with flaws and their own personalities that shone through so brightly you couldn't help but fall in love with them. I was disappointed to have finished the book, simply because I knew it was of end of this fantastic series but I know I| will be seeing many of these characters again in the next Blood and Ash book, which is a series I love even more than this one.

I’m dead

Mrs Armentrout did it again!!

The final instalment of The Fire in the Flesh series.
Chunky book, but It was addictive, the "one more chapter" kept me awake way pass midnight, I just couldn't put it down.

There is so much explained in this book. Most of the questions we had from the "From Blood and Ash" series make sense now; new information is revealed about the history of our beloved and of others not so beloved characters.
I cannot wait to see what Jennifer will do with the character of Poppy, But I keep wondering ..what about Casteel…. I have more questions now…

All and all a good read, it could have been great, but:

1. The first 30-40% was a bit too much going around Sera's PTSD. We could have use the time seeing the creation of Kieran's kin.
2. And I was expected dual narration at this point… bit disappointed on that front.

Good ending for the series!
