eve_reads 's review for:

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
adventurous dark funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Armentrout utilizes a lot of popular fantasy tropes really well (the chosen one, the jealous/protective lover, werewolves and vampires, etc.). While these things aren’t new, they were super engaging and fun to relish in.

⁕ Most of y’all already know this, but there’s A LOT of smut in this book.... like a lot. Sometimes so much so that I felt it detracted from the plot (but to each their own, I suppose 😅).

⁕ For a book labeled as “high fantasy,” I was expecting more world-building. Hopefully, such developments will come in the next books of the series.

⁕ I’m not sure I 100% buy into the main relationship of the book (but honestly I don’t think the main character does either, so, again, we’ll see where the sequel takes us).
