I read the first three chapters of Fall of Ruin and Wrath, and I am interested to read more of the story. Lis is an orphan girl with the power of foresight when see touches another person, and sometimes sees the future or has pre-knowledge even without a touch. She finds sanctuary as a young woman as part of the household of a count. The story takes place in a kingdom controlled by a hierarchy of different classes based on magical powers, it seems like some of these powers come from having a godly/ angelic being in your ancestry. The world building information is woven into the story, so I assume as the book goes on, I would learn more information about the magic system and power plays going on in the country. While there was no sex in the first three chapters, it's kind of implied that there will be NSFW scenes later on.

While only the first three chapters are available, Fall of Ruin and Wrath has a hold on me!

Jennifer L. Armentrout’s first foray into high fantasy was with her From Blood and Ash series. Fall of Ruin and Wrath marks her second fantasy series.

Personally, I believe JLA was always destined to write fantasy. While her entire backlog speaks for itself, there is something potent in her works of fantasy. They are alluring and unputdownable!

In an instant, JLA captivates her audience and leaves readers paralyzed—stuck consuming page after page until the realization dawns that hours have gone by and life’s responsibilities await.

Fall of Ruin and Wrath has taken the forefront of my thoughts. I can not wait to discover what lies ahead when the book releases on September 12th.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group for this exclusive excerpt.

Great start to a book, I can’t wait for more! I’m already invested in the characters and I need to see their journey play out

I breathe for the longing only Jennifer Armentrout can create in her couples: their tension, yearning, the steam. We are like moths drawn to Lis and Thorne, becoming lost in their glorious inferno. Ready to burn? Come join us, the party is only beginning.

Just a preview and I'm already hooked....,can't wait to get to dive into the rest of this story. This preview and is a great first look at the world Jennifer is creating and a glimpse of a strong but yet still emotionally fragile MFC. Looking forward to meeting the MMC and seeing how his and Calista's relationship moves forward.

Jennifer L Armentrout is always going to be an instabuy for me. However, I struggled a little bit with this excerpt. It could just be that we’re ramping up with world building, so I’ll be able to provide a better review once I read the full book. The frequent ellipses in the dialogue constantly brought me out of the scene. I enjoy the author’s unique takes on fantasy settings and creatures, though, so I’m hoping I end up enjoying this more once I have the whole picture!

Thanks for the excerpt. I don't feel the three chapters are enough to provide any type of rating/feedback, but so far, I like the story. Looking forward to reading the full book.

Another fantasy from Armentrout. I didn't enjoy the bit I read as much as I did Blood and Ash, this felt perhaps a bit duller, but I think that could change whenever I read the full novel.

I am so excited to read more of this. It is definitely for fans of fourth wing. I believe it’s better than FBAA!

So good! I can't wait for the full book! This feels like an alternate universe From Blood and Ash and I'm here for it. I'm very intrigued about what the female lead will end up being and her male lead. That ending had me desperate for more.

This sampler for JLA’s new book was amazing!! It definitely hooked me from the beginning and I’m sad it was only 3 chapters in this sampler bc it was so good!! The FMC was interesting and I’m excited to learn about how her powers work but also I’m pumped to see who her love interest is ( even though I feel like I know who it’ll be 😏 ). There was also a lot of In for dumping in this sampler but as a high romantasy I’m not surprised. I’m excited to dive into JLA’s new world and hope to love it as much as her FBAA world!!!

Thank you to Netgalley for this sampler!

This excerpt was everything I needed for a little insight into this next book. It feels like I’ve been waiting seventy years for this continuation but only because I’ve been DESPERATE for it. I’m in love with this series.

Jennifer is one of my favorite authors, and I’ve read all of her books. This one absolutely blew me away. I can’t wait for more!

The excerpt of Fall of Ruin and Wrath HOOKED ME. I'm excited to read more about Lis when this book is released.

So far, I'll give this 3.5 stars. I think it may easily become a 4 star book.

Give me more, give me more! This sampler by Armentrout wasn't enough. I'm a huge fan of her other novels and I'm loving this transition to more adult novels.

This was omg good. I actually have the full ARC for this one so I am happy to finish it. I didn't realize this was a sampler when I grabbed it. But thats ok. Always glad to give Armentrout some love!

When I requested this book I did not realize it was a sample. It is kind of hard to write a good review with only about 3 chapters. I do like this author and the character setup is interesting. So, I do plan to keep an eye out for this one to read the full book.
