However, events got exciting enough by the end of the novel I do have some interest in finding out what happens in book 2.Īt the beginning of the book, I admit I was wondering whether other readers primarily liked the novel for the steamy scenes and the hot love interest so much of the book is based on the premise that protagonist Poppy is the Maiden and must remain pure and untouched that it seems a main point of the book is showing readers how she doesn’t remain untouched at all. In the first half of From Blood and Ash, I was confused what all the hype was about the plot seemed a bit basic and the world building somewhat confusing.
Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.įrom Blood and Ash is the book everyone seemed to be reading in 2020, so when I saw it at the library, I figured I might as well check it out it’s also the first book I’ve read by Armentrout, and I’ve heard good things about her work in general. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.įorsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own.
