There’s parallels between this series and the From Blood and Ash series because this is the prequel story, but there are also obvious similarities in character traits and the dynamics between the leads. I’m not sure if it is intentional or not, but if I had to choose between the two, I’d choose this one wholeheartedly, and because I like this one so much, I didn’t mind it.
Right out of the gate, the book opens with a mystery that’s put the back burner, leading to the meeting of Sera and Ash. If you’ve seen my Instagram stories, you know this book had me giggling and kicking my feet the entire time. The banter and the chemistry between the leads was *chefs kiss*.
Different events happen throughout the book that lead us to where we end up by the end. I haven’t finished the series so I can’t say how much of it is important to the overall plot, but I more than enjoyed the journey and it gave me a great understanding of Sera.
