Not only she rambles while talking, but her mind and her actions, too, jump from one place to the other. It’s one of her distinguishing personality traits. As you could see, she favorites phrases that after a while you’d wish she would find other literary resources to convey her meaning.First and foremost, JLA's writing style has a tendency to be repetitive: However, it is lacking in the way it was written. Great twists and turns, action packed, romance and passion on its best. So, why is it not a five-star rating? As I said, content wise, this book series is amazing. Will she ascend? Or will she shed the disguise of the Maiden and show her true colors? What are those true colors? These are the questions you’ll explore throughout the series.īlood and Ash is one of my top 5 favorite Fantasy-Romance series of 2021. We follow an adventurous path full of action, passion, betrayals, lies, violence, wonder, and mystery. Being a curious person with particular abilities in her arsenal, she decides to choose a life of her own and listen to her instincts. She spends most of the time locked in her room and only has some human contact with her personal guards and lady companion. She is not allowed outside the castle grounds. No one can touch her or even see her face. However, she discovers that being a Maiden means being in a sort of cage.

‘Chosen by the Gods’, she is the Maiden, the future of the Kingdom of Solis, and her Ascension-a ritual blessed by the Gods-will usher great changes. We follow Poppy in her journey to know herself and discover her true potential. “ Blood and Ash” is one of my favorite fantasy romance stories, content wise.

Our characters experience multiple skips of their hearts’ beats when they are feeling every possible emotion, attraction, fear, you name it. It may not sound like a huge number, but if you choose to read these books, I promised you one of the things you’ll remember the most is going to be that phrase. I counted around 41 times it was written throughout the book series. I believe this is Jennifer Armentrout’s (JLA) favorite expression.
