Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
Kingdom of Flesh and Fire | Jennifer L Armentrout
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood and Ash series... Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal... Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that's one order she's more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her. A Choice.... Casteel Da'Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he's the only way for her to get what she wants-to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she's ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself-about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she's far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation. A Secret... But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

If you told me that in 2023 I would be enjoying romantasy fiction I would have thought you lost your mind. But here we are and I‘m the one losing my mind for these types of books. Really enjoying this series so far; this was the second book in this series. I like Hawke more than the female MC.

I definitely enjoyed the ending of this book and watching a certain romance evolve into something more. The only drawback was what some other reviews have mentioned about there being a lot of repetition of the same conversation. Still a pick for me though!

This book took me a million years to finish (that‘s what it felt like) & honestly not much happened in this one. I feel like it could have been about 200 pages shorter. Poppy was still insufferable. This one wasn‘t as good as the first one and I‘m not sure I‘ll keep going with the series since everyone says it just gets worse from here. It‘s so sad bc this is such a good story. I‘m definitely going to read Hawke‘s POV when it comes out tho! 3.5/5

KateReadsYA Well I'm glad I only bought the first 2 then! 🤭 10mo

A 3.5⭐️ read. There is a lot of world building as Poppy learns more about the truth of the Ascended as well as battling her feelings for Casteel. There is a lot of talking & going over the same murmured whispers & it is not until the last quarter the pace picks up & the story starts going somewhere. You can tell the questions Poppy asks will be needed later in the series & the relationship between her and Casteel makes it worth sticking with.

Honestly was so unimpressed with this book until the last four hours on the audiobook. And that is the only reason it‘s getting a so so. I felt like most of the book was the same conversations over and over again with no movement in character development or plot. However with the last section mentioned above it did make things very interesting and had me jumping to the next book. Hopefully the third one will redeem the series in its entirety.

I wish there was more plot per chapter, I felt there were a lot of repetitive conversations and inner thoughts. The ending had me needing more immediately though. So with that I must read the next.

This was the second book in this series and I enjoyed it, fun escape with these characters I will continue with the other books 📖

Beauty, my sweet child, is often broken and barbed, and always unexpected."

The reason that it‘s a “pick” instead of “so-so” is the final 15% of the book which is absolutely marvelous and I can‘t wait to see what‘s going to happen next. First 85% of the book is sexy times with some bickering and that‘s about it. The banter is repetitive, which is a bit sad because I love banter. World building is there though, one just has to find it. It was an easy and fast read. Will I continue with the series? Absolutely.

Love. Love. Love. The relationships formed and the amazing moments that got me yelling, “Oh my God” had my husband constantly asking me what happened and if everything was ok. I‘m going to have to break my New Years resolution of not starting another new book until I finished my stack. I just can‘t wait for the next one!

The second in the Blood and Ash series, this novel is not as action packed as the first, but just when it starts to get a little slow, there is a battle or an attack by The Hills Have Eyes style cannibals in the woods to liven things up. A bit more romancey than the first but still fun.

Her books aren‘t hard to read but this one is pretty thick. I know there‘s more than three books in this series but this felt like the second book in a trilogy, things are leading up to something but we have to get there. Does end where you want the next book. #bookspinbingo

This book is very steamy, hot and heavy if you catch my drift. I didn‘t mind it in the least 😂 It was Worded very thoughtfully that it did not read like a cheap romance. Clever dialogue. The World building is excellent so is the emotional contemplating. Thoroughly enjoyable. This was the second book after From Blood and Ash can‘t wait to read the next one. 4 1/2 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

My #doublespin pick took me literally all month to read, this one focused a little too much on romance and annoying character stuff instead of violence and I swear how did it take them the whole book to arrive where they needed to 🤣. Hopefully the next one will be better. I did enjoy it but I had to push through some parts.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved this book. I will always love a heroine who can, quite literally, defend herself. The constant tension between heroine and hero always had me guessing what was going to happen next. Already cannot wait to reread this epic story of adventure and self discovery.

Welp, I'm in love with a fictional character... It look 30+ years of reading but it's finally happened. Casteel is... Breathtaking. Obviously I loved this book! The intense feelings surrounding everything that happened in book one? Not to even mention the very last few pages of this book. I had to reread the ending to ensure I absorbed every detail. On to book three!

Please read this series! It's not like anything I expected.

nichollinlove I zoomed through all 3 books! Can NOT wait for book 4! 3y

Finished this one and wow what an ending. About 70% in I felt it was a bit long and seemed to have a lot of additional world building for a 2nd book in a series but wow the last third of the book. This is not a standalone and ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.
4.5⭐️ Would be 5 but for it being a little slow in places. Can‘t wait to read the next one! Making great time for #20in4marathon #audio

The problem with finishing a book at 9:30 at night that ends the way this one did, is that I know if I start the next one now, I will not get any sleep tonight. I loved this book more than the first. I have a feeling the series is going to leave me with a major book hangover. #fantasy

Here we go ... cracking into book two. The first one in the series started out slow for me but half way through grab my attention and I couldn‘t put it down! Luckily, I was able to borrow this one from a friend , since I made the vow of no book buying for the year, (due to the fact that have a massive bookshelf full of TBRs) I might have actually broken that vow , if I couldn‘t get my hands on a borrowed copy !!!!

I love this series!
I liked how this one had more plot twists, and we still don't know much about Poppy's blood and who she really is. I liked the romance, and it was definitely more convincing. I loved the banter between all the characters, especially Poppy, Casteel and Kieran. I found the pace to be a mix of fast and slow, but it worked.
I really loved that ending even if it has infuriated me, because now I need the next book like now!

Dasquirt8 I think I went back and reread the ending like 10 times to make sure I read it right lol only a few more weeks for the next book 3y
abookdragonsretreat @Dasquirt8 Yeah, at first I was so confused by it but then I managed to understand....I think😂 3y

This book definitely dragged compared to the first one. I felt like the first book was just so quick for 600 pages. I still loved the relationship building between “Hawke” & Poppy. Just felt like there was a lot of new terms and bloodlines introduced in this book that it was kind of hard to follow. Still a pick tho! Also the “pretending act” dragged on we all knew they both knew they weren‘t pretending lol. Don‘t want to wait for the 3rd book 😭

I finished my second re-read of A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire! I‘ve been rereading the books to prepare for Crown of Gilded Bones, which I‘m so excited for next month. This book follows Poppy and Hawke going to Atlantia. Poppy must work out Hawke‘s betrayal and sort out her feelings for him. I love Poppy‘s growth and indecision about Hawke. I just love this series.
