This!!!! Book!! I’m a sucker for the world that is From Blood and Ash and didn’t think I’d like other characters in the same “universe” more but WOW was I completely wrong. I absolutely loooove Sera, I think she’s such a strong, morally ambiguous, and richly written main character. There’s plenty of similarities to Poppy yet she stands all on her own for sure. Nyktos was just as good and lovable tbh. He had the broody aloha attitude yet kept it in just enough check to still be admirable and soft-ish. This is definitely slow burn yet the entire ride is so worth it. The world building still felt spectacular to read and learn more and more about it. I also loved the “falling in love with someone I have to kill” trope and woooooah does this especially deliver it. If you loved her other work you should DEFINITELY check this out and give it a chance!! I’ll be binging the next books.

Thank you Verve and my book club!
