CW/TW DISCLAIMER: I think it’s very important to read her trigger warnings fully and thoroughly prior to reading this book. I found them thorough, and was very glad that they were provided both in print and audio format.

I will spoiler free be reviewing both the book and audiobook narration itself.

I can’t believe it’s time to type my review for the final book in Flesh and Fire. As I sit here beginning it, I am still not ready to let the series go. However I will say with utmost confidence and gratitude that Jen truly left it all on the page. I can’t imagine what more she could have given us, truly I see why she said it needed this length because she gave her all. We finally see more of the nesting, loving deepening by the second romance between Sera and Nyktos come to a full and stunningly beautiful fruition. We are given so many answers to many a theory and we weren’t rushed through how the journey got us there. As always I keep it spoiler free so I can’t say much but I will say that it is a JLANDERS mega fans delight. There’s easter eggs, and tied up strings, and breadcrumbs we’ve followed finally taking us to our destination. It’s plot galore without feeling heavy or dragging. The pacing was exactly what felt right with a story of this magnitude. There’s revenge, and valor, and pain and triumph. BOBAA is full and beautiful, and worthy of its predecessors. This is a careful readers dream and I cannot wait to watch the excitement unfold when this book hits the fandom like a freight train. It will still all your sleep, and secure Nyktos’s place forever in your heart if he didn’t live there already. Get ready readers, this will be the explosive heart stopping ride you’ve been waiting for!

Audiobook Narration: Stina Nielson is BACK and she’s just as powerful as ever. I personally love her narration for both Flesh and Fire and Blood & Ash and it’s wholeheartedly because she has truly mastered the art of being able to narrate any gender, and any accent. She’s got incredible range and emotion and she brought it back yet again. For anyone who struggles to keep all the many characters deciphered I cannot recommend the audiobooks more because she has distinct voices for absolutely everyone no matter how small their role is. It’s also really helpful with pronunciation of course. I cannot recommend this series with audiobook enough it truly brings these already vibrant characters even more to life and allows you to lean into the story with her keeping clear who is speaking with such strong distinction.
