A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

First of all someone please tell me when is the next book coming?I was never too fond of books before I got my hands on the first book of the series: From Blood and Ash. That was so engaging and I so fell in love with Hawke and Poppy. I was lucky to wait only for one more month before the second one released. Now I can't wait for the next one. This series is a must read. It's totally gonna blow your mind away!!

First of all this book was written in span of 3-4 months!!! And that too detailed book that answered our questions from book 1 but now have millions of more questions! Wish I had Kieran for answering these questions!!!Loved the conversations between Poppy and Kieran and Cas. Loved the details! Can't wait for book 3

What just happened???????I swear I have never been more pissed about a book ending on such a cliff hanger and this is me complimenting the book because it was one hell of a cliffhanger.I have never been a fan of Jennifer Armentrout's books books because somehow I always have issues with the male lead, but this book took my breath away in the last few pages.I confess that though I enjoyed the first book initially the turn of events towards the end of the book was distasteful. No matter how noble the intentions, lying to someone especially the one you claim to love is irredeemable and left me sullen at the end of the first book.Poppy is an absolutely delightful character, fierce, loyal and sarcastic to the core whose character growth could have been more than just swooning whenever she meets her heartmate Casteel aka Hawke aka the Dark Prince.Speaking about Hawke, I am not particularly fond of him though the author did show another side of him which makes him appealing to the reader. Though I completely understand his motivations for his actions, Casteel was still someone who I felt gets his way by his good looks. I do have an issue when authors always describe the male lead to be this out of the world good looking which makes most things easily forgivable.The banter between the leads was fun to read, so also the romantic moments between the two. However I do feel we could have got to confessing the feelings part sooner as after a while it just tedious. I mean skirting around the topic that much made me want to roll my eyes.I liked how the author focussed on every single supporting characters of the story and wove them in into the storyline seamlessly. Each character was wonderfully written and I felt like rooting for each of them especially in some high tension scene which was long due.However, I have to show my love to my absolute favorite character in the book, the adorable and mouthy Kieran. Damn!! He was delightful in every sentence and his camaraderie with Poppy made me laugh every time. I felt the book lit up whenever he was around and I do hope that the author does write a novella only on Kieran, I would definitely buy that one. It has been a while since I loved the best friend. I gave one extra star to the book only for that perfect woven🤭To summarize I would say that the book is heavy on romance so if you are going into it for fantasy, you won't get it till the last quarter of the book. But mind you, the last part is totally worth it and the fourth star is for the terribly spellbindingcliffhanger. As of now, counting down the long days till the next installment.

I thought first one described emotions in detail but this one surpasses it and gives you a feeling it’s never enough.You just keep reading in awe page after pages lost to time .

“You can’t spell dysfunctional without fun, now can you?”📖 A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire🧚 Jennifer L Armentrout📚 Blood and Ash #2Imagine you are a two-hundred-years ‘young’, near-immortal, scion of the mightiest kingdom....Now imagine you have been tasked with kidnapping a naive, barely-legal, really-violent ‘Maiden’.All you have to do is take her from Point A to Point B, Should be easy right? Specially when you are completely, hopelessly in Love with her!?..In a very Evrything-that-can-go-Wrong-goes-really-WRONG situation, every turn brings its own set of shock, scandal, malice and death!..Of course, it ends with a BOMBshell (literally) and of course I have started the next book stat and I will get back to you all soon once I devour that!!😇...

This book is one of the best things of 2020. Totally deserves 5/5 ⭐.I wish I could say that it was my first book but I have read every single book of yours, and you never seize to amaze me 😍.Kingdom of Flash and Fire is the next best thing that you must have on your bookshelves ❤️.Casteel and Poppy are love💕💕 can't wait for the next one to come out.

Armentrout has done it again. This book is even better than the first one! The plot is so interesting that you will find yourself gasping everytime you find something new.Poppy, truly comes into her own over the course of this book; her power evolves, she also becomes even more of an imposing, not-to-be-toyed-with heroine.Her relationship with Hawke also deepens as the two become both physically and emotionally closer. All in all, the relationship has everything you could want out of a book romance.Moving on to the plot, it’s more character driven than that of the first book. It also does a fair amount of world expansion, building upon our understanding of Solis and Atlantia’s histories and mythos. In spite of being less action driven, the book’s pace moves at a good clip. The story never stalls or feels sluggish.The writing itself is very easy to read, which helps to move the story along. Just like the first book, this is written in the first person from Poppy’s point of view, which adds to its enjoyability. The first-person narrative builds suspense (you only know what Poppy knows) and allows you to more easily imagine yourself in the story.So in a nutshell, once you start this book, you won’t want to put it down.

O segundo capítulo da série não decepciona, já que a autora consegue fazer o enredo crescer exponencialmente, ao aprofundar e destrinchar o relacionamento entre Poppy e Hawke após as dúvidas, brigas, mentiras, traições e sentimentos conflitantes trazidos pelas revelações do final do livro anterior, além de adicionar novos personagens interessantes, aprofundar ainda mais a história dos Atlantians e enriquecer esse mundo com outras criaturas, lendas, cenários e paisagens.Basicamente, vemos Poppy tentar entender seus reais sentimentos em relação à Hawke/Casteel e a verdade de quem ele é, ao mesmo tempo em que descobre novos poderes e dúvidas sobre sua origem, quando uma batalha inevitável acontece e uma traição inesperada causa uma completa reviravolta na história.A autora consegue, mais uma vez, manter o interesse do leitor durante cada capítulo com o aprofundamento das relações entre os personagens, o enriquecimento do mundo criado e a introdução de surpresas e reviravoltas que te deixam ávido para ler o livro seguinte. Excelente e envolvente continuação!!!Obs. c/ spoilers dos próximos livros: Como já li os quatro livros disponíveis da série, deixo avisado para quem interessar que a autora destrói completamente a relação de supostas almas gêmeas construída nos três livros para transformá-la em uma relação a três deturpada no quarto livro e totalmente incoerente com tudo que havia sido escrito e desenvolvido anteriormente.Ela vendeu uma mentira nos três primeiros livros da história, porque o tipo de relacionamento que ela construiu jamais poderia incluir uma terceira pessoa em qualquer nível.Infelizmente, ela conseguiu estragar uma das principais premissas da série, desperdiçando uma história com um enorme potencial.Só aviso para que os leitores tenham a opção de não se frustrarem e perderem seu tempo e dinheiro para continuar acompanhando a série e ter essa grande decepção como eu tive. Uma grande pena!

Spoilers & Thoughts Below!!•Second book following From Blood and Ash.•I absolutely loved this book, could not put it down! I’m just amazed at how well JLA writes, honestly her characters and stories are some of the best.•Poppy is literally one of the best badass female characters I’ve read. Her growth throughout this book was amazing; she never backs down, speaks her mind, and fights for what she believes in.•I can see why some people may find Poppy’s inner turmoil annoying but I thought it was just so realistic and understandable for her situation. Her conflicting emotions and thoughts surrounding Casteel were so well written and heartbreaking.•Casteel aka Hawke is now my new book boyfriend! He is honestly just perfection; love how charming, charismatic, strong, violent, and passionate he is. Also, everything he says is just swoon worthy, absolutely love him.•The Culling is very interesting and I hope we get to see more of that in the future books. Wondering how that’s going to effect Poppy and her abilities.•Loved the explanation regarding Casteel and Kieran’s bond and how fiercely protective Kieran is over him.•Enjoyed that we got to see more of Poppy’s abilities, definitely something more is going on there because the things she is able to do and feel seems more than just her being half Atlantian and from an empath warrior bloodline.•The empath warrior also being called soul eaters was so cool and I’m definitely curious about them.•All the details regarding the other mythical creatures like the wivern, draken, ceeren, and gods was so interesting. Definitely expands the world and characters.•I have some mix feelings about Alastir. I didn’t really trust him at first but after his offer to Poppy I somewhat came around to him, however towards the end of the book I’m back to being somewhat suspicious of him. So don’t really know just yet how I feel about him.•To learn what Casteel experienced while he was being held captive absolutely broke my heart and to know his brother is going through the same thing is just unimaginable.•I have admit I was worried about Shea and that whole history so I definitely shocked to learn what truly happened and again I’m just so heartbroken for Casteel.•Some of my favorite side characters were Delano and Vonetta. Hopefully we get more of them in the future.•There were so many interesting plot points and characters including the dead bones clan, the female guardians, the blood tree, the Skotos mountain and mist.•Poppy and Casteel’s relationship is incredible. The tension and build up between them was amazing and the whole fake marriage trope was hilarious because we all knew they weren’t pretending. I honestly just love how fiercely protective he is of her and doesn’t hold her back.•Favorite quote: “She is more than capable of handling things herself. But that is my future you were walking away with. Guard her well. Your life depends on it.”•Spice level was very hot! All their scenes left me blushing!•The whole heartmates concept has me very intrigued and I just love how much deeper and meaningful that means for a couple.•So the Joining….I was a little skeptical at first but I want and need it to happen now because after that one scene I can totally picture it and wow, definitely hot!•I really enjoyed the development of Kieran and Poppy’s relationship, definitely see them growing closer together in the next book.•So we didn’t get a huge betrayal like the first book, which I expected and feared but the not telling her about the whole promised to another definitely hurt and made me cry.•Their fight in chapter 33 was so heartbreaking but I did love that they were finally really communicating with each other and telling their truths.•The battle in Spessa’s End was very intense and a lot of interesting things occurred and breadcrumbs were laid out. Curious to know if the certain things that were mentioned are in fact true.•Their declaration to each other in chapter 36 was just perfect. They love each other so much that it makes me cry.•I have no words about that ending expect…what!!•Poppy…is she really?? Like what does that mean!•There are so many unanswered questions that I cannot wait for to be revealed but I do have to say I have a bad feeling about Poppy’s brother.•Honestly one of the best books I have read this year and I cannot wait to continue with the series!!

Im halfway through the book now and the tension is amazing. What will happen, i really dont know. Im gonna continue reading, its keeping me up at night.

One of the best books I have ever read. As I continued reading, I found that each chapter, each page and each paragraph had me at the edge of my seat. The suspense, the romance, the action all combined in this great novel. Her books books just get better and better. I absolutely loved it.

I’m very impressed by the paper quality of these books. Even the paperback version has nice smooth thick paper unlike other paperback books that sometimes have rough almost see-through paper.
