jennifer l armentrout from blood and ash series

Were some of the scenes way steamy and uncomfortable to read in a public waiting room? Yes, I don’t recommend doing that. Was it incredibly cheesy and predictable at times? Hell yes.

After adjusting to being catapulted into the story, I quite liked it. It felt info-dumpy until about 15% of the way into the ebook, and I felt like I had to push through because of that. I really loved how immersive the world felt, even though at the beginning I was a little overwhelmed. You may come for the steamy scenes, but you stay for the dramatic fantasy plot.Īnd speaking of plot, boy does this book take some turns. While a good portion of the plot is very romance driven, the romantic relationship isn’t the end-all be-all of the story. To be quite honest, this book shouldn’t be in that category. Initially, that made me not want to pick it up – I never can seem to find a romance book that I rate higher than 3 stars unfortunately. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people-and each other.I was first introduced to From Blood and Ash when I saw it had won the Goodreads award for Romance of 2020. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible-travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.īut the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her.

Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel.
