A Pseudo Tandem Reading Guide for From Blood and Ash & A Soul of Ash and Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout
While From Blood and Ash and A Soul of Ash and Blood are essentially the same story but told from different POV, I would not recommend reading them in tandem since you will get major spoilers for the rest of the series if you read A Soul of Ash and Blood at the same time. As A Soul of Ash and Blood is told by Casteel as he recounts what happened when he first met Poppy from his perspective as he waits for her to wake up, since Nektas told him to talk to Poppy so she might remember herself. If you skipped all the present chapters, you could read them together in tandem; however, there are massive spoilers for From Blood and Ash, since Poppy had been aware of the truth regarding Casteel. So, I would more recommend this if you've already read the series and want to re-experience the first book from both sides as you read A Soul of Ash and Blood.…
View PostMy Thoughts on A Soul of Ash and Blood (Blood and Ash, Book 5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
A Soul of Ash and Blood is the fifth installment of the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. However, while it might be the fifth installment, this book is basically a retelling of From Blood and Ash from Cas's POV. There are moments of the present sprinkled in, so it's not completely just a retelling, but usually those chapters are fairly short and serve as a transition when something else in From Blood and Ash didn't involve the two of them together. So, this isn't going to be a long review by any means as I don't have a lot of new things to talk about with this tale that I didn't already discuss when I reviewed From Blood and Ash.…
View PostThoughts After Reading of The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The third installment of the Blood and Ash Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout was released called The Crown of Gilded Bones. I read it in a day as I had with the other two books in the series. I could not stop turning the pages in this book. Like the previous books, when I did my review on them, I'm going to be sharing spoilers. I have a lot of thoughts and don't think I can adequately at this time do a proper review. I will give this book a rating of 4.25 out of 5 stars. In case you want to skip my thoughts to avoid the spoilers. It was good, the worldbuilding was spectacular of how things were handled. And I can't wait for the next installment.…
View PostThoughts and Theories on The Crown of Gilded Bones
I swore I was going to put down From Blood and Ash series for a while and read something else, but I haven't. It's all I've read this month a few times over. Including the first chapter that Jennifer L. Armentrout started on her website of The Crown of Gilded Bones, which doesn't come out until April 20, 2021. Similiar to how I shared my thoughts and theories on what's coming up for A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, I thought I would do the same with this book. …
View PostLooking Back at What I Read in 2020
2020 was a tough year for a lot of us. I know I already talked a bit about this in my Happy New Year and Goals for January 2021 posts, but I thought I would make a dedicated post for going over the books that I read last year and if any of my thoughts have changed in regards to them. Since this last year really got me back into reading, as before other than Shadowhunters Chronicles which was the majority of my reading in 2019 I pretty much never read. But in 2020, I read at least six to eight books a month. If not, more as I often end up reading several books multiple times or re-reading various chapters repeatedly.…

I wasn't tagged to do the 12 Days of Christmas Book Tag, but I really liked the concept after seeing it on Ellie's blog (Read to Ramble). So, I'm going to do it as well. This tag was originally created by Lizzie Loves Books.…
View PostThoughts on A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout
There was no way I was taking a pause to read something else. I jumped straight into A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout after finishing From Blood and Ash. Especially on the cliff hanger that book left off on. And like the previous book, I COULD NOT put this book down and finished it in a day.…
View PostThoughts on From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I got this series and wanted to wait until it was fully out before reading it... but then TikTok videos would not stop showing up for it. So, rather than getting everything spoiled, I decided to read From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I was going to read other books first, but considering how many times I found myself wanting to get to this book before something major was spoiled like ACOTAR, Shadow and Bone, or Throne of Glass I moved this series up in the list.…
