Story and Character Development
Pros:
"The progression of the story is perfect and the character growth is spot on."
"Watching Poppy come into her own and find the confidence to trust who she really is and what her motivations are has been incredible."
"I love watching her learn and grow into who she wants to be rather than what is expected of her."
"I loved seeing the transition Poppy goes through. She gets more sure of herself as Queen without Cas by her side."
"Poppy’s character growth has been immense and I loved to see her step into her spotlight and learn how to make her own decisions and firmly know what she wanted and believed."
"I love the character evolution, the love they have for each other, the fact that even the characters considered 'good', have an edge to them and very strong qualities by themselves and alone."
"Poppy is and always will be my #1 the strength and will she has is admirable."
Cons:
"I would say that this book was the hardest to get through just because it kind of dragged through most of it."
"Effectively, Casteel and Poppy's relationship was reduced to nothing more than sex, and Kieran took on all of the emotional aspects."
"Even the sexy scenes felt repetitive and anti-climactic (no pun intended)."
"I just stopped caring about Poppy before we even made it half way."
"It feels like this was a first or second draft, rather than a fully finished/polished story."
"It just felt like a strange direction to take."
"The character development does not align with the previous three books."
Writing and Narrative Style
Pros:
"I still enjoy this author’s writing style."
"Armentrout's storytelling has captivated me."
"The writing is excellent, as is the pacing."
"Jennifer did a phenomenal job on creating scene after scene that had me on the edge of my seat."
"I have nothing but good things to say about JLAs writing and creativity with both the FBAA and Flesh and Fire series."
"Wow, incredible writing and storylines."
"I love Jennifer’s books (I have read all of them but 4!) and this by far is my favorite world and characters she's created."
Cons:
"There are a number of spelling and grammatical mistakes throughout."
"For some reason they sent me a micro version of the book?"
"It is so gentle and slowwwww in introducing you to a different kind of love that you don’t even recognize that you’re also falling for Kieran and his protective, rock steady, stable, always so realistic and down to earth, not dramatic, can’t be bothered, personality."
"The start of the book was seriously slow and I wanted to DNF."
"This book is so poorly written."
"The fact that so much at the end had to be explained by poppy -once again- asking a billion questions seemed a bit lazy to me."
"The book isn't good. The writing could use a strong edit, is repetitive of earlier books language and the storyline has become hard to believe."
Series Continuation and Ending
Pros:
"This truly is an epic story of good and love triumphing over evil and hate."
"The end was interesting though, and I like all the gods waking up, definite cliff hanger."
"An amazing ending that is also an epic beginning."
"I can't wait to finish this series."
"Love this series so much and this book was the best one yet!!!"
"I can not wait for the next 3 books to come out! There is so much to come!"
"This is one of the best series I’ve read. Totally captivating and intriguing! Hard to put the books down when you are pulled to find out next plot."
