Kingdom of Flesh and Fire picks up right where From Blood and Ash finishes. Poppy is surrounded by Atlantians and Wolven who want her dead because of what she represents, and Hawke the man she had been slowly falling for has been exposed as Prince Casteel Da’Neer aka the Dark One! With her powers adapting and growing, danger lurks everywhere even when Poppy learns she is half Atlantian. Casteel proposes marriage to secure her safety even from their own Allies. After all his lies and deceit right from the beginning, Poppy is not trusting but together they form a plan to rescue Casteel’s brother, who is in the hands of the Ascended, and hope that poppy can find her own brother, Ian. In spite of everything he has done, Poppy’s feelings for Casteel are ever present and she feels increasingly drawn to him!
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire is even better than it’s predecessor, From Blood and Ash. It still has the banter and mystery from the first book, but the romance is taking a more main seat in this book! I love how we are exposed to more of the FBAA world in the book and it’s helps us get a better understanding of Atlantia, the Wolven and how exactly the Ascended have been spinning lies. Although the plot is a bit slower in this book, the character development is captivating and focuses a lot on Poppy’s relationships.
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire is highly addictive story that many readers will devour! With the cliffhanger of an ending, I can’t wait to see what book 3 has in store for us!
