Story
Long ago, the world was destroyed by gods. Only nine cities were spared. Separated by vast wilderness teeming with monsters and unimaginable dangers, each city is now ruled by a guardian – royalty who feed on mortal pleasure. Born with an intuition that never fails, Calista knows her talents are of great value to the power-hungry of the world, so she lives hidden as a courtesan of the Baron of Archwood. In exchange for his protection, she grants him information. When her intuition leads her to save a travelling prince in dire trouble, the voice inside her blazes with warning – and promise.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. 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. But the choice has never been hers.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

A kingdom of stars and shadows
- By Julia on 01-11-2023
Publisher's Summary
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her beloved Flesh and Fire series…
The only thing that can save the realms now is the one thing more powerful than the Fates.
After a startling betrayal ends with both Sera and the dangerously seductive ruler of the Shadowlands she has fallen madly in love with being held captive by the false King of the Gods, there is only one thing that can free Nyktos and prevent the forces of the Shadowlands from invading Dalos and igniting a War of Primals.
Convincing Kolis won’t be easy, though–not even with a lifetime of training. While his most favored Revenant is insistent that she is nothing more than a lie, Kolis’s erratic nature and twisted sense of honor leave her shaken to the core, and nothing could’ve prepared her for the cruelty of his Court or the shocking truths revealed. The revelations not only upend what she has understood about her duty and the very creation of the realms but also draw into question exactly what the true threat is. However, surviving Kolis is only one part of the battle. The Ascension is upon her, and Sera is out of time.
But Nyktos will do anything to keep Sera alive and give her the life she deserves. He’ll even risk the utter destruction of the realms, and that’s exactly what will happen if he doesn’t Ascend as the Primal of Life. Yet despite his desperate determination, their destinies may be out of their hands.
But there is that foreseen unexpected thread—the unpredictable, unknown, and unwritten. The only thing more powerful than the Fates…

Great at times but suffers from poor editing
Unfortunately the last couple of JLA books have really suffered from far too much waffling and poor pacing, this one is no different. I LOVE this series as a whole, the lore is fabulous and this certainly delivers on revealing lots of unexpected twists. However, there is so much repetition with dialogue and unnecessary rambling that drags out the book. The pacing suffers for it significantly and like the 5th blood and Ash book, feels like it could have been half the length to achieve what it did. Especially after the pacing of the first two books, this was agonising at times, especially towards the end. I'm keen to read the final book, but I'm begging JLA to be a little more thorough with editing out waffle. I get that this is deeply rooted in being a fantasy smut but all this poor pacing only kills any tension those scenes could have and make them tedious.
That aside one positive note I'll add is that I did appreciate how issues of ptsd/trauma and consent/abuse were approached (though it too suffered from waffling and overkill). It felt very relatable to my own experiences in a way that didn't gloss over or forgive certain altercations. The mental health rep feels good to me! It just didn't really need to be dragged out so significantly. If you have triggers for the above mentioned though you may wish to proceed with caution/be aware before starting.

Not as good as the last books.
I like this series and the other one too, but the pacing was very slow compared to the others.
It was also far too repetitive and waffle-y. This book was kind of a letdown.
Will definitely listen to the next book, and I hope more stuff happens.
As always, the narrator is amazing.

It hurts my soul to only give this 3 stars
Firstly, Stina Nielsen always does such an amazing job and I always love listening to her narration and is probably the reason I am giving this a generously 3 stars but I was SO disappointed with this book. I enjoyed the 1st & 2nd book & love the FBBA series but this one definitely fell flat for me. I was so confused with all the chaotic mess for the first 9/10 chapters and was so bored with everything until Sera was finally reunited with Ash. It immediately got better once they were together again BUT *spoiler alert* you’re going to have to wait until a good half way until they are reunited.
Secondly, I love smut/spice as much as the next girly (I’ve read some fucked up shit) but I feel like it was so unnecessary towards the end of the book & I feel like JLA jammed it all in there to make up for lost time but I was just too much. Sera was meant to be DYING - I thought they should have been able to do so much more with her time before she ‘died’.
I really hope the next books for this series & FBAA make up for this one. Please Jennifer I beg.

one of my favourite series
I listened to all previous books before getting into this one, and I loved it every second. So looking forward to the next book. If there would be one criticism, then it would be too much sex scenes. But even with that, these series are one of my favourites.

it's... something.
I love this series. I couldn't wait for this and still can't wait for the next, BUT. I tolerate recapping at the beginning because I get it, but after that the story should keep moving forward. she dwells on EVERYTHING. it's not hard to recognize when someone in the story says something that will be important later on. but in the meantime just keep revisiting I guess. and I'm so frustrated on all of the hints (since the first book I picked it up, I might add) on what's coming but of course that's skated over the entire series. I'm going to keep my hopes up for the next, though.

Keep pushing through
If you love the Sera and Nyktos story then hang tight and keep pushing through. The first 28-30 chapters are hard, lots of internal conflict that’s extremely repetitive. Story doesn’t actually pick up until 28-30. It gets really frustrating hearing Sera go backwards with her emotions towards Nyktos from book 2 (of this series). There is sooo much information that is easily missed, lots of re-listening to chapters.
Will listen to again to make sure I didn’t miss something and know where to skip when stuck in repetitive monologue. Hoping the next book(s) in this series aren’t this rough or take as long to really get the story going.

filler season
I am hearby vowing not to buy anymore 3rd installments of any of JLA books, I will simply look up a spoiler page or some type of cliff notes. This is not anime ma'am, you cannot just put in a filler season and hope it's cute enough to get by. I'm not even half way through and had to go read reviews to see if it gets better, apparently it does not. I will finish this book, eventually, just for the sake of the series, but this is not the first time she has done this. it seems like the other longer series she writes has the same issue with the 3rd book. slow, torturous inner monolog that goes nowhere for a majority of the book, then some story progress at the very end. and for the love Chocolate stop making it seem like women are incapable of handling their impulses and emotions! "Omg he's so terrible, how ever will I be able to sleep with him so I can get him in a compromising position and kill him?!" PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ON! oh wait, he didn't give you panties, lololol...I'm going to get flack for this, but any woman out there that hasn't gone to bed with someone to get something they wanted...well bless your woefully unsullied heart...but here is the thing, Sera is not that person, she has openly admitted to sleeping with strangers at what is essentially a brothel on several occasions. " the embers started vibrating, and I could help it I..."<---insert whatever stupid thing Sera did here. over and over and over. 2/3 of this book is an elaboration on the story Eios told us about her time with Kolis. or telling us about the ascended, which we have FBAA for. whatever other scraps of relevant unknown information that is contained in this portion of the book could have, and should have, been presented in a more concise manner. We know how this story ultimately ends because of FBAA, this book needs meat and potatoes topped with gravy, but right now I'm sifting through the gravy to find substance.

Important info but a bit slow
We got a lot of important info in this book and a lot of subtle growth within Sera that she doesn’t realize has happened until the end. We also gut a good look at the true depravity of our overarching villain in bigger series. Yes, this one is a bit slow but it’s a middle book that’s doing a lot of heavy lifting in terms of mapping, growth, and informing where we shall go from here aka setup for the battle we all know is coming. This book and the next have to take us up to Poppy so the backstory was absolutely necessary. I absolutely love this series and recommend it every chance I get. JLA is amazing. I

Shocked by the lack of story.
I don't normally write reviews but I'm absolutely livid about this book. I have read a lot of books by this author and really enjoyed them. I loved the first two books in this series and waited impatiently for this third book. I also loved Stina Nielson who did an incredible job in this entire series. But, I should have read the negative reviews before I purchased it because they are all accurate. First 31 chapters are without Ash, or any of the characters we came to love in book 2. These chapters could have been the first THREE chapters, instead of 31! What we learn over 31 chapters is that Kolis is a A-hole (we knew that already) and Sera is more neurotic than we ever imagined. Her inner monologue goes on for chapter after miserable chapter. Nothing happens except repetition of the storyline we already knew.
Finally, in chapter 32, we get our lovers back together and they head home. There is some completion of the storyline about Sera's long, desperate, "I am dying" issue which seems too simple after books of anguishing over this. There is very little interaction with the beloved characters like Nektos, the Drakon little ones, Bella, Raine, etc. We have no clue what happened to the Shadowlands during Ash's absence. Then we have chapters, literally chapters!! of spice as Ash and Sera get back together. (A little is nice but too much means we didn't have a story to tell so we'll just have sex.) This book is 80% boring and 20% percent action that moves the plot along. An incredible disappointment from Jennifer Armentrout. This book could have been an 10 chapter novella. It wasn't a real book.

Meh?
Love the series, but the pacing and balance of this one was off. More than half the book was spent painstakingly drawn out, and the fun adventure part with our reunited characters felt too quick. (Still love Stina!)

Is wayyy too long.
Narration is solid.
The story is fine, but it could have been 1/3 the length. It just really drug on, which is unfortunate because it could have been very good had the editor cut out all of the superfluous writing.

Hard to finish
I love this entire series and will always read JLA. This one was rough though. I was so annoyed with Sera this entire book. She was almost bipolar with her rage and wrath and then sudden mercy and kindness. She was also so completely stupid and repeatedly made the same bad choices and immature outbursts. She acted like saving Ash was all she cared about but would continually let her “temper” jeopardize everything. The inner dialogue was sooooo much and soooo repetitive. I know a lot of information needed to be explained but I prefer to receive it with plot action or even occasional conversations not inner dialogue for 20+ hours. The entire book felt like it was her boring and often moronic inner dialogue or her deciding to “feel nothing” to save Ash and the realms but then 2 seconds later get pissed off, throw a tantrum and jeopardize it all. Wash, rinse, repeat…over and over and overrrrrrrrr! I love Ash and will continue for him but it’s so hard to root for her because I just don’t really like her anymore!

Wanted More action and less “action”
This book started off great as it picked up same as it left off. Unfortunately it quickly went down hill from there. The scenes were long and boring and still left me feeling unsatisfied at the end. For the first time in this series I found myself skipping chapters. The love making portions were also a bit too much as it was more about flesh than fire. I felt like it was relentless and I was simply over it.

Wow!
Wow! This was an emotional roller coaster of emotions! I couldn’t put this down, so glad I was able to tandem read this with audible and kindle. The last few chapters had my heart in my mouth! This was another masterpiece by this author.

Damn
I laughed. I cried. My heart was racing needing to know what happens but DESPERATELY not wanting this book to end. For my own sanity, I should have paced myself cause I know the wait for the next instalment is going to be pure torture.

Another favourite by JLA
When Fire in the Flesh parallel series came out along side FBAA, I was so pleasantly surprised, Sera and Nyktos quickly became my favorite couple.
With every new addition to their story I fell for them more and more. I feel that with this latest one I am now just so pleased for them.
It was a great decision on JLA part not to rush the story and add even more to this 600+ pages book just to end on the originally planned trilogy. I loved getting those last chapters. Unrushed. Just pure literally pleasure and Stina’s amazing performance.
What also really surprised and made this book one of JLA strongest is how she wrote Kolis. To come into this story only having pure hate for him and then become in moments torn between feeling sorry for him and hating him all over again was a constant fight in my head. It was so well written. You can really tell JLA took her time fleshing out what makes up what I feel is either a psychopath or a sociopath. Or both. Just such strong writing.
All in all - fantastic. As always. Cant wait to see the end to both of the story lines.

The truth bombs are strong with this one!
Oooooh it’s all coming together for the fire in the flesh series and of course the from blood and ash series. My mind has been thoroughly been blown with all the answers you have speculated about throughout the two series. Great story too. Not just a tying everything up book. Thank you for another great book and even though it’s only been 10 hours since released, im fully game for the next book lol. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Way too much of talk and repetitiveness
A nice continuation of the story of Sara and Ash but a lot of the story is repetition and a also a lot of focus on the Love matter between them. Would have preferred more action and development in the story.

So disappointed like someone else wrote this book
Books 1 and 2 are out of this world. This book sera just endless talking to herself rather than the action packed fast pace of the other books . Really hoping the Fourth book is more like 1 and 2. Can’t complain about narrator she was absolutely marvellous as usual.

Bored to death
My 1 star is for Stina, who as always was lovely to listen to. The actual story however has been the longest inner monologue I have ever read. I have 4hours left, and sofar there has been actual movement in the story in about a handful of chapters, the remaining 25 chapters has been just Sera endlessly thinking to herself in circles.
I absolutely LOVED book 1 and 2, and I truly hope book 4 will be better, but with 4 hours left I sincerely feel like I would have been happier having read a summary of the story and just skipped this one.
