Week 46 Review: A Light in the Flame

From Goodreads:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book two in her Flesh and Fire series…

The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.

The truth about Sera's plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.

Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren's call impossible to resist.

And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos's love—an emotion he's incapable of feeling—she won't survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn't get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms. 

My Review:
Man, this was such a great book! I've loved Jennifer L. Armentrout's writing from the beginning, and with this world, I love everything about it, and this latest entry was so fantastic! Things are coming to the endgame, I think there's 1 more book left in this series, and 2 in the Blood and Ash, and I can't wait to see how everything plays out!

Things are a bit awkward at the beginning because they now know that she came in with the plan to kill Nyktos. Which I get, but I also understand her side. But his reaction, I think it was more that she was willing to die to follow through, and he didn't like that thought. 

With the knowledge of the prophecy (which we know they're not interpreting correctly, given the Blood & Ash series) things are different, and there's a focus on Kolis and I was very eager for him to be taken down, given all that he's done!

Boy do these two go through a lot of ups and downs in this book! She still is willing to give up to life to complete the mission and he really doesn't want that, regardless of the fall in love thing that he can't do. So that was quite the adventure!

That ending was pure evil! I don't know when we'll be getting the final book, but I need to know how things are going to resolve! I know they will, but I want to see how, darn it! She's in a very bad place, and I don't know how they're going to deal with it! 

Loved this book so much, and I can't wait for more!
