But even though the middle dragged, I still enjoyed Sera's emotional struggle and her progression into understanding what she's capable of and what she's allowed to feel. As if these trials weren’t sufficient, Sera faces a barrage of revelations that shatter her foundational understanding of her role, her duty, and the creation of the realms themselves. These unsettling truths not only turn her world upside down but also invite fresh skepticism about what the real threat actually is. Kolis may be a formidable obstacle, but he is merely one part of a multifaceted struggle. The Ascension, a celestial event of immense significance, looms menacingly on the horizon, and Sera is running perilously low on time.

What is the point of spending two books introducing incredible characters like Aois, Nektas, Bele and then not even using them?After a startling betrayal ends with both Sera and the dangerously seductive ruler of the Shadowlands she has fallen madly in love with being held captive by the false King of the Gods, there is only one thing that can free Nyktos and prevent the forces of the Shadowlands from invading Dalos and igniting a War of Primals. Firstly, Stina Nielsen always does such an amazing job and I always love listening to her narration and is probably the reason I am giving this a generously 3 stars but I was SO disappointed with this book. I enjoyed the 1st & 2nd book & love the FBBA series but this one definitely fell flat for me. I was so confused with all the chaotic mess for the first 9/10 chapters and was so bored with everything until Sera was finally reunited with Ash. It immediately got better once they were together again BUT *spoiler alert* you’re going to have to wait until a good half way until they are reunited. Theories about it being Eythos grew but surprise and honestly should have been obvious to all of us after Attes was revealed to being Cas's ancestor that Attes was the silker HAWKE. Yeah - let that obviousness sink in because I felt stupid.

If you made it this far then thanks for reading and I missed a bunch of stuff concerning this book. There is just a lot of information that is best read through the book itself.Step into the blazing world of " A Fire in the Flesh", the third captivating installment in the " Flesh and Fire" series by the renowned author Jennifer L. Armentrout. Boasting a substantial duration of 24 hours and 3 minutes, the entrancing voice of Stina Nielsen will guide you through a tale imbued with passion, danger, and mystique.
