This book is Amazing! I love this series and this author! This book is a good fun read for a fan! I really enjoyed it!

Visions of Flesh and Blood is an absolute must-have for any fan of the Blood and Ash or Flesh and Fire series. This beautifully crafted compendium is so much more than a simple reference guide—it’s an immersive, indulgent deep dive into the world we all love, told through the wonderfully scandalous and sharp lens of Miss Willa.

While it’s definitely structured as a companion piece and not a traditional novel, the tone and voice keep it engaging, often witty, and deeply satisfying. Think of it as Miss Willa’s personal research cache—filled with tidbits, rumors, steamy interludes, and insight into the realms of Atlantia and beyond.

Whether you’re reorienting yourself in the world or just wanting to spend more time with your favorite characters from a new angle, Visions of Flesh and Blood is the perfect addition to your collection. An absolute gift to fans—and yes, I’ll be rereading it every time I need a dose of Miss Willa wisdom (and spice).

Visions of Flesh and Blood is such a fun deep-dive into the Blood and Ash / Flesh and Fire world. Told through Miss Willa’s cheeky POV (yes, that Miss Willa), it’s packed with lore, character details, beautiful artwork, and even some bonus scenes. Some bits felt a little repetitive, but overall, it was such a treat for fans of the series. Definitely worth picking up if you want more behind-the-scenes magic and spicy extras! Solid 4 stars from me.

This book was alright. I wanted to read it all but it was pretty redundant to the whole series (which I’m also getting burnt out on), and didn't add much new to the story lines. But I really enjoyed Miss Willa’s parts, I could have read a whole book of her journal.

This was exactly what I needed to refresh myself on the series as it's been a while since I read it. It was short and sweet and straight to the point. I adored that it was told from Miss Willa's perspective, who is one of my favourite side characters.
I think this is a great addition to the series for people who need a refresher.

Thank you so much to Blue Box Press for the ARC via NetGalley and for giving me the opportunity to share my honest thoughts on the book.

Thanks netgalley and the publishing house for this ARC!

Let's say this, it is always a pleasure for me to read about the From Blood and Ash world, because it was one of my first romantasy ever, and my first english (written) reading, so, it is absolutely my cup of tea and my comfort place. Anyway, I need to be realist and this book, this "compendium" it is not a real necessity book, but let me explain - it's okay if you forgot something and you need to clean your mind about it, just this.

A great addition to this universe. This compendium allows you to deepen your knowledge from the POV of Miss Willa (icon). Please note this is more of a reference/guide book when you go to read it.

Visions of Flesh and Blood is an absolutely mesmerizing addition to the Flesh and Fire world! Jennifer L. Armentrout and Rayvn Salvador have created a stunning, immersive companion that deepens the lore and magic of the series. Every page is a treasure for fans—beautifully written, rich in detail, and completely unputdownable. A must-have for every From Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire fan!

This book is an in depth guide to the characters and story line and is a great reference book. It’s told from Miss Willa’s point of view.

This book was entertaining, but I'm not sure that this progressed the series the way I was hoping it would

This is a great reference! It is perfect for those that are new to this world and need something to reference while reading all the new names and locations and need more definition. Also perfect for those like me who have put down the series and needed a refresher on all names and places before I get back into the later books. I’d definitely purchase this to have on the side while I read the series through.

This book is a great example of a publishing company trying to release something while we are waiting on an actual book. This is essentially a recap of the past books which could be helpful if you didn't want to do a reread. One of the problems is Willa being creepy and watching people have sex. No thanks
Overall id say this doesn't need to exist.

As someone who read most of this series years ago, this book is super helpful as I anticipate the next installment in the series. I've struggled with remembering the complex dynamics between and past and present in this series so I think this was a neat way to remind myself of everything in a fresh way since I don't plan on rereading the entirety of the series before June. Also, the pictures included were so neat and fun.

Blood and Ash & Flesh and Fire have been on my tbr for ages, but I haven’t had the time to read them yet so this compendium worked as a nice introduction to both series.

This book recaps what happened to different characters in both series. If you don’t want to see any spoilers, I would recommend reading this only after reading the previous books. I haven’t read the previous books so I can’t say how much new information this book provides, other than some exclusive scenes. As someone who hasn’t read the series yet I found this book to be informative and interesting with introductions to characters, information about bloodlines, creatures, etc. And there was also some beautiful (character) art sprinkled around the book.

Miss Willa is one of my favorite side characters mentioned throughout the books. Her salacious musings and conquests are scattered throughout the series and with how long she’s been around, it makes sense that she’d also be a historical steward of sorts!

I loved how this compendium is organized to give the reader added depth and insights into these series—including exclusive scenes!

Visions of Flesh and Blood is a perfect interactive guide and encyclopedia encompassing the beloved world of Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire!

Huge thanks to Jennifer L. Armentrout and Rayvn Salvador, Blue Box Press, and NetGalley for the review copy! This is my honest and voluntary review

This volume surprised me with how much it deepened my connection to the series. It feels like you're getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a world you already adore—almost like reading someone’s personal diary filled with unexpected insights and details you might have missed. I’m genuinely excited about what’s coming next, and I’m very grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for this early peek at such an enriching read!

"Visions of Flesh and Blood" by Jennifer L. Armentrout may appeal to readers of paranormal romance, but it leaves much to be desired for those looking for a deeper, more compelling story. Because this is a companion guide. I personally didn't find this useful. The series can be confusing but I was so bored by this and ended up skimming this. If you're a fan of the series, you'll love it. But it was not far me.

Visions of Flesh and Blood is an amazing companion to the Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire worlds. As a compendium, Visions is more like an encyclopedia of the world and includes elements of the history, world building, magic, and the primary characters. This book will help you with all the details related to the gods and Primals, the Ascended, family trees, and more. It has amazing character art throughout. It is told through the POV of Miss Willa Colyns, a fan favorite character, it is presented as a series of journal entries, and familiarizes readers with the Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire worlds up through the 5th and 3rd books respectively. I was glad to reread this in advance of the Primal of Blood and Bone's release later this year, as it reacquainted me with some favorite characters and background of the world. For readers new to this series - this is NOT a novel that continues the main storyline of either series. While there are some hints and information about the final books, this is more like a compilation. It can be read in bits and pieces over time, or you can refer to it to look up an element of the world or the background of a character as you read the main novels. It does not need to be read in order, but if you read it before A Soul of Ash and Blood or A Fire in the Flesh, you may encounter some spoilers.
I really enjoyed this book, and think it is an incredible companion to one of my favorite series.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and to Blue Box Press for a copy of this amazing book. All opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennifer L. Armentrout has done it again with Visions of Flesh and Blood, delivering an utterly captivating deep dive into the world of Poppy, Casteel, and the rich mythology of the From Blood and Ash series. This compendium is a must-read for fans who crave more insight into the gods, the realms, and the intricate lore that weaves this epic fantasy romance together.

The level of detail in this book is nothing short of stunning. From the history of the gods to the origins of the wolven and Atlantians, every page is packed with fascinating revelations that enhance the depth of the series. Armentrout's signature storytelling shines through, making even the most lore-heavy sections feel immersive rather than overwhelming.

Beyond the worldbuilding, Visions of Flesh and Blood also gives readers an emotional punch, with glimpses into pivotal moments and characters we’ve come to love (or love to hate). It’s the kind of book that makes you want to immediately reread the entire series with fresh eyes, catching all the little details that now hold even greater significance.

If you're a devoted From Blood and Ash fan, this book is an absolute treasure trove. It’s the perfect companion to the series, blending mythology, history, and heart into a mesmerizing experience. Highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this incredible addition to the series.

Read this book when you want to re-enter the world and for the spice! It's cute and fun with all the steamy scenes. Some parts were a tad boring for me but I recognize that this isn't a main character energy book. I did like that there is some additional explanations to help connect the dots missing in other books.
