jennifer l armentrout from blood and ash series

Obviously, if you ended up not liking this book it’s perfectly understandable because this book didn’t really follow the typical enemies to lover blueprint in my opinon.

If you like initial attraction to belligerent sexual tension to betrayal then to hate-love? Then I think you would enjoy this book. But if you gave up halfway you may be missing out on something here. If you still don’t like it? Then it’s probably not for you. I know that when you first read it you may feel inclined to drop it like I did (if you didn’t already do so). This is why I’m making this review spoiler-free. Because I ended up enjoying the book quite a lot and binged the rest of it a single sitting. Poppy’s first…interactions with Hawke also caused me to mistakenly think of this book as instant love for a while, until I decided to give this book a second chance (and I’m kind of glad I did). It was just…I don’t know, it was a bit confusing? It didn’t capture my attention as well as I hoped in the beginning. I actually dropped it myself around almost halfway to this book. Normally I would just include spoilers in this book (since it’s been released for a while now), but for specific reasons (I will elaborate below) I am making this review spoiler-free so you dear reader who hasn’t read it can go read it.

Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.įorsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own.
