Publisher Description
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…
Customer Reviews
Wasn’t my favorite one, but still good!
The first chapters were easy to get through, the next 25 or so chapters were a little more difficult, then the last chapters were easy to get through again. Certain things that I can’t spoil just seemed repetitive so I ended up skimming the middle of this book, which I haven’t done with the others.
Get to the point already!
Up until this book, I was hooked to the series… then I got to this one and I am debating on if I even want to continue the series or not. The plot just drags on and on! Sera is trying to work up the courage to do what she needs to do to get out of a sticky situation for far too long and doesn’t even end up doing it. The sex scenes at the end are just too much as well.
Rent don’t buy
A mixed bag of emotions and pacing. While the series excels at delivering heartfelt moments—I found myself crying several times—it also drags in places, particularly with dialogue that left me skimming more than I’d like. If you’re curious about the book, I’d recommend borrowing it from the library rather than purchasing it.
One element that detracted from my experience was the attempt to inject humor through modern-day references. These moments felt jarring, like a fourth-wall break, pulling me out of the immersive fantasy world.
Though marketed as romantic fantasy, this book leans heavily into erotica. While the early sex scenes are steamy and engaging, they eventually become repetitive and over-the-top, making them more exhausting than enticing. For me, it was a bit much.
