It reminded me a bit of the ACOMAF inner circle. I love the friendship between the primal being and the gods, the power of choice and also the trust between them. I literally surrender to the book: “Sara, for God’s sake shut up and listen!” If I were them, I would listen to them and try to get their point of view in perspective. This attitude tends to degenerate into arrogance, which it is not. I don’t mind that she’s stubborn, I like that about her BUT I don’t like that she doesn’t stop listening to what people around her are saying to her a bit. ![]() Now, in preparation for ALITF, I’m re-reading the Blood and Ash series first, then A Shadow In The Ember, and on my third re-read I’m still having some issues with Sara. I love Ash but I have a lot of dibs for Nektas :))) I seem to enjoy playing with death and fire :))) I followed Jennifer’s reading order on the first read and when I read TWOTQ to ASITE I screamed ’cause as a reader you start connecting things and you start grinning because you know something the current characters don’t, so thank you Jennifer for that. So I think ASITE is much better than FBAA as the opening book in a series. Yes, FBAA is the opening book of this world, but I feel like even if I were a new reader of this world and started with, say, the prequel ASITE, I would still understand this world and how it all began. I personally like it better than “From Blood and Ash” because it has action from start to finish. ![]() However, her life is lost, it always has been, as she has always been touched by life and death.Ī Shadow In The Ember is my third reading of this book and I’ve always loved it.

If he fails, he dooms his kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of red. Make the Death Primordial fall in love, become its weakness, and then… finish it off. Sera’s true destiny, however, is the best-kept secret in all of Lasania: she is not the well-guarded maiden, but an assassin with a mission: a target. Chosen before birth to honor the desperate deal her ancestor made to save her people, Sera must abandon her life and offer herself to the Ancient of Death as his consort. Either way, her life is forfeit-it always has been, as she has been forever touched by Life and Death.Born in the veil of the Primals, a virgin as fate had promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future was never hers. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. ![]() A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood.
