A Light in the Flame is the second book of the Flesh and Fire series, and I got an ARC in exchange for an honest review. It was my first Jennifer L. Armentrout ARC, since I became part of the team, and it was something that I dreamed of for years now. I had high expectations for this book, and it didn’t disappoint. This was one of my favorite JLA books. I still have no words to describe how much I loved it and how much it drove me crazy! It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. I was addicted and spent three days doing nothing but reading. It’s a big book, a lot happens, and new information is revealed: we get some answers, and we get more questions.
It’s a book that has everything: great characters - with great development - good action scenes, and important scenes where so much happens and changes, and I had to stop to process everything I had just read. The first half of the book is a little slower than the second, but both have their importance for the story. I guessed part of the end, but it still left me screaming at my kindle, with the way things happened. I have so may theories and thoughts and this book is just out and I cannot wait for the next one already.
About the characters. Sera is becoming one of my favorite characters ever. I loved her so much in this book! She is so strong and snarky and has this powerful personality that makes her strong and vulnerable at the same time. I love the fact that even if she is strong she has scars that she is working on healing and that makes her character more complex and interesting. Also, her sarcasm and snarkiness are hilarious. Nyktos was even better in this book, in my opinion. We got to see more sides of him, and he is so dreamy! I really liked his character, as a man, the love interest, and as a primal god. He is complicated but he is a good guy and would do everything for the ones he cares about. Usually, I am more of an anti-hero kind of girl and prefer the bad boys, but Jen got me with Nyktos, I really swooned for him during the whole book. With how much I loved these two, it’s no surprise that I loved the romance aspect of the book. The tension and angst were off the charts, but also the sweet moments, and confections, and the way they are there for the other, even when they don’t realize they needed each other.
The side characters as it’s Jen style are also amazing, and great complements to the story. The Draken are my favorite though. Nektas with his wisdom and humor – he has this way of always knowing everything and uses that to annoy Sera and it’s hilarious – and the babies Jadis and Reaver, they are the sweetest thing and I want a baby Draken. In this book we also have a better approach to the real enemies, we get to know more about what is really at stake here, and the game levels up. We also have new characters, some good, some bad, but all are important pieces on the chess board. But there are three specific characters that I really want to see painfully dead.
With everything we discovered in this book and the prophecy, the connections with the From blood and Ash series are growing and I’m so curious to find out what is Jen’s master plan with all of this. The book was amazing, five stars because I cannot give more, because if I could give a hundred I would. I laughed like a maniac and cried like a baby. Jen plays with our emotions, and I loved every single page. It gave me one of the biggest book hangovers of my life and reinforced JLA as my favorite author ever.

5 Star Read for me!!
book 2 in a flesh and fire series by @jennifer_l_armentrout is another 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me!the way that sera and nyktos continue their journey together, picking right back up from where book 1 left off, had me in a chokehold!! i was on the edge of my seat reading, dying to know what happened next ⚔️in this book, we get to see sera continue to be her usual bada** self, but she is extremely and way more vulnerable than she ever was in book 1 🥹💋 also can we just have a moment of appreciation for ash/nyktos 😮💨😍 hes my favorite…EVERthe prophecies and drama in this book is everything ✨ and i didn’t feel like this storyline dragged on so much like I did with the first book - the first book was also 5 stars for me though!all i have to say is praise Jesus i have book 3 on deck (that i received as an arc) because i dont know what id do if i had to wait in suspense!🤭
Top reviews from other countries
A série é toda interessante devido à maneira de Sylvia narrar. Porém, achei bastante exagerada a riqueza do Gideon aos 28 anos. Mas... Enfim. São livros ótimos, com cenas tórridas, que deixam a gente vendo estrelas kkkkkkkkk. Confesso que chorei com alguns trechos, pois me identifiquei demais com os personagens. Recomendo fortemente a leitura da série. É uma das melhores da autora. Recomendo também "Desejada".
Maravilhoso!
