I’ve been a huge fan of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s writing for a while now. And when I started reading the Blood and Ash series last year, I got hooked immediately and I’ve devoured all three books in the series ever since. So when I found out that there would be another book based in the world of the Blood and Ash series, I got super excited. And when ‘A Shadow in the Ember’ got announced, I immediately pre-ordered it.
‘A Shadow in the Ember’ pulled me in right from the very first page. In this book we meet Seraphena Mierel. A mortal who has always known what her destiny was. All her life she worked to become the Consort to the Primal of Death. But he, Nyktos a.k.a. Ash, the Primal of Death’ is unlike anything she is thought to believe. To safe her country, Sera must get close to Ash. But he isn’t what she expected. And there is a lot more to their story then both could ever imagine.
Ever since I heard about this book, I knew I wanted to read it. And when I was finally able to start reading, I couldn’t stop reading at all. Just like I couldn’t stop reading the books in the Blood and Ash series. And yes, this book was just as amazing.. Maybe even better. And that cover.. I mean really? Gorgeous right?!
I loved getting to know the world set in this book. The Primals, the Gods.. and Seraphena or Sera. Boy did I love her character! Sera was definitely a character I couldn’t get enough from. I loved how tough and strong she was. And the way she never stayed silent when it probably would have been wiser to do so.
And then Ash, or Nyktos.. Amazing!! I loved him! The chemistry between Sera and Ash was amazing. And I couldn’t get enough of their story. They made me feel so many things! I definitely devoured the pages wanting to learn more about them. And Ash definitely was just so amazing.
But not only the chemistry between the two main characters was amazing. There was plenty of action, and suspense going on as well. There is a lot of world building, and secrets.. and everything in this book kept me sitting on the edge of my seat.
‘A Shadow in the Ember’ is another perfect read by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I simple cannot get enough of this world. And I’m so not ready to let go of Seraphena and Ash. I definitely hope we get to read the next book in this series soon, because I can’t wait to learn more about them.
