I really should stop jumping straight into reviews the moment I finish a book because all I am processing at the moment is that I am in awe and also simultaneously freaking out over the cliffhanger because I should have seen it coming. But here we are and this review will be chaotic! Honestly, I just completely loved A Light in the Flame and once again Jennifer has proven that she is not only the master of plot twists but also the master at writing books that basically consume my life to the point where I crawl into a reading hole and don't leave for days. It picked up right where A Shadow in the Ember left off as well and I really loved the seamlessness of that. But what I loved almost even more than that was the constant building of not only the world itself but the connections and unknown history for From Blood and Ash. I had so many moments where I was making notes of things that automatically brought me all the way back to the first two FBAA books. The way Jennifer has perfectly connected them, especially though the prophecy that has been expanded on is incredible. I basically made so many notes on new theories, my head is bursting. Beyond that, A Light in the Flame gave me the same feelings I had when I read Heir of Fire and no other book has ever been able to achieve that. And that is largely due to Sera who just had me feeling all of the feelings. It's been a while since I've connected to a character the way I have with her and there's really no words that I can think of right now that do justice to the fact that I am so glad she exists. And Nyktos... he has my whole heart (though I did want to punch him a few times). I don't want to say much but just that he has my whole heart and if he and Sera don't get their happy ending at the end of all of this I will actually rage. Not to mention Nektas... And small Reaver and baby Jadis. Literally if you have read TWOTQ you will understand when I say Jadis better be okay! I need her to be okay. And of course the huge cast of characters beyond just those! The way I don't feel like any of them lacked development no matter if we didn't see as much of them due to this being in Sera's point of view is another tribute to Jennifer's writing. She definitely knows how to make me love AND hate characters. If you've made it this far into my chaotic rambley review then I applaud you and I will end it here with one final thing. THE ENDING! I was on the edge of my seat, but now I have to wait after that cliffhanger. How will I wait!? All in all, it was a wild ride and I can't wait for what happens next!

I need more!
This series continues to amaze me. The ongoing development of the world is captivating. I definitely started reading these books for the spicy bits. Now, I’m glued to the pages because of the story itself. Please let this go to HBO!

Best in the Series so Far
Wow. A Light in the Flame (ALITF) takes places as soon as A Shadow in the Ember ends. The sexual tension in this book can be tasted. Nyktos is hotter than hot. Sera is a force of her own. She is fierce and willing to do anything it takes. I laughed. I sobbed. I gasped. I didn't want it to end. Jennifer L Armentrout addresses several things in this book. One of them being anxiety. The way she handles Sera's anxiety is top notch. Sera struggles and the breathing techniques she uses are technequies I have had to use myself to calm down. The way JLA handles people being family was one of my favorite quotes in the entire book: "Just because someone shares the same bloodline as you doesn't mean they deserve your time or thoughts." I honestly can not wait to see where this series goes next. Nyktos will do anything to save Sera. I know Jennifer won't disappoint. As a closing thought, Chapter 13 lives in my head rent free and I will be reading that portion again. Whew.

Great Book 2!
Back to Sera & Nyktos we go! I love this couple, this world, this series and the Blood & Ash universe as a whole. It's so rich, angsty, tangled and fun. Everything we got in book 1 we get more of here... including an ending that leaves you wanting book 3 asap. I love how we get to learn and grow with these characters and the way they are so realistically written. Can't wait to continue this series!

Amazing book and series
JLA does it again. What a wild ride. So many twists and turns, so many feels. This book is a perfect balance of storytelling, emotions, adventure, conflict, action and with a few sprinkles of spice too. It’s amazing to watch Sera grow into the person she’s meant to be. And the ending? Wow. Be prepared to scream into a pillow or throw something. Five fantastic stars.

Absolutely amazing
A Light in the Flame is the second installment in the Flesh and Fire series, within the Blood and Ash world. THIS NOVEL!!! Let me tell you, this made me feel things I haven't felt in a long time while reading. I felt sorrow, anger, excitement, satisfaction, just to name a few. I took my time with this one and read it a little slower than I typically do as I needed to savor this knowing I would have to wait a while for the next one and it was well worth it. We pick up where we left off in the last novel, with everyone now knowing what Sera's intents were and the repercussions she is now dealing with from that. You still have all of the wonderful characters from the previous installment and you get even more humor and angst than before. The chemistry between Nyktos and Sera is like fire. All consuming and HOT. This will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions and while you have a good idea of how things end if you have read the Blood and Ash books, it does not stop your heart form being ripped out as per usual JLA style. I trust her to mend my heart and my psyche back together with the next installment, but until then, I will be crying into a bottle of wine.

Outstanding!
Wow what a Journey Sera and Ash take us in. From page one this book takes you on an emotional journey. You laugh, you cry, you want to stab someone and then there is the ooh hell no, that did not just happen. The characters come alive as you read, and the world you are transported to. Such detail in every aspect of the book that makes you feel like you are living the story. I absolutely adore the story with all the twists and turns. Also I just have one final thing to say, “Reaver-Butt”! Now stop reading my review and go and read the book, you need this story in your life!
