Omg! I will not be doing a full review, mainly because I can hardly think! I’ll just say if you liked From Blood and Ash, you’ll love A kingdom of flesh and fire. JLA always leaves us with the freaking best cliffhangers🙃🙃🙃

Trigger Warnings: transphobia, allusions to homophobia, allusions to deadnaming, assorted bullying, catfishing.

As usual I don’t know where to start, or even if I have proper words. I really truly with all my heart LOVED this book! Felix is a Transgendered teenager from New York City🗣🗣🗣. In this book, we are thrown into his world and journey of self discovery, and love from so many different angles.

Honestly, I have not one bad thing to say. There’s a reason I gave it a 5/5🌟. Though I am not trans, and will never fully understand...I related to the story a lot. Remembering what it’s like being a teenager, even sometimes now I adulthood and feeling alone I think is something we all can relate to once in a while. I loved the characters, and the relationships that were built and explored throughout the book.

Kacen Callender did such an amazing job with the writing, and really making this story as personal as possible. It was so raw, and truthful. I felt very much involved for it to be a book😅

Recommend:

Felix, I see you...I love you.

Thank you NetGalley for lending me this ARC. I am a huge fan of the series, and forever grateful for the chance to read it before it comes out. Pub Date: March 9, 2021.

This book starts off with Eve’s parents giving her the biggest wake up call of a lifetime. They are tired of her lack of everything, and want her to commit and take life seriously. She is a confused twenty something year old, and thinks of herself as a failure. Eve decides to get a job and leaves her parents home.

Jacob is the owner of a B&B, who is not as kind as people would like him to be. He is thoughtful, and unhappy. Together they make the perfect pair. Or do they? They say opposites attract, but what happens before? I imagine a lot of bickering and fuss. Overall these two come to an understanding, and it’s a fantastic journey.

I have read all of The Brown Sisters books, and this was definitely the wildest one? If I can even say that. I really loved the point in this story where just because someone else sees you a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s end all be all. You make the choice for yourself who you want to be at the end of the day. I myself have a lot of these moments, and I just try to remember that I am a good person, and not to be persuaded by others judgement.

At first I thought I was more like Eve, until I realized there’s a lot of me in Jacob as well. Still not entirely sure he’s not a Virgo...but I haven’t gotten confirmation yet🤣
