Review: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 


⭐⭐⭐⭐


This book has a four star rating from me (though would more accurately be 3.5) not because it’s a great book by general standards, but because I really enjoyed it. I think this book falls into the category of a guilty pleasure read and I’m perfectly happy with that.

 

In parts, this book felt like a drag. It’s over 600 pages long and some of those pages went quickly, whilst others went very, very slowly. Because around two thirds of this book is Poppy’s thoughts, it means that a lot of the text feels a bit like filler and also that there are an insane number of ellipses. I don’t know why ellipses are really annoying me at the moment but when I see them in a place where a comma or full stop would suit, how unnecessary they are grinds my gears.

 

Having said that, despite not enjoying some aspects of the book, the forbidden romance aspect, badass heroine and, fantasy elements brought this book together to be something I looked forward to reading and hopefully something I’ll continue to enjoy in the next book.
