Review of 'Kingdom of Flesh and Fire' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Read this in one day, (almost) one sitting, and really loved it! I really love the chemistry between the two main characters, especially the banter in the inner circle. I laughed out loud a lot, which is one reason I kept going. This is also deliciously spicy, would say 4/5.
That said, I thought Poppy's actions are a little foolish sometimes, though she doesn't annoy me as much as Feyre did... so that is something. Maybe her actions feel a tad more relatable? Not sure. In any case, it's obvious that some of them are needed to push the story forward, so it's forgivable.
Overall 5* because I would read this again for the sheer joy of giggling or smiling as I read, and the really nice increasing burn between the two lovers. Again, serving tropes that we love, but that is all fine.
Also, hello Kieran. We do love the dry wit.
