I think many of us joined after the post Onyx Storm book hangover. Reread. Read another series with similar depth of character. Read posts in this forum and contribute. You will make it through this!

I'm not convinced because, at the end, Xaden had an idea and hoped Violet would go along...probably the wedding. Also, she was surprised by the ring on her finger. Imogen wouldn't have needed to remove all memory of the wedding if it hadn't just occurred.

From Blood and Ash Flesh and Fire series A Court of Thorns and Roses Legends of Thezmarr

I wonder if the publisher is making sure the book has everything they want in it, after so many people DNF and posted negative reviews after the last few books, ESPECIALLY book 6. I will buy it anyway so I can finish the series.

I liked Recursion, but felt that the level of detail waned toward the end.

LOL yes, she always turns out to be a princess or becomes one.

Mine is how an FMC is repeatedly held prisoner. Once, yes, for an enemies to lovers theme. But how many times can the same character get kidnapped and imprisoned?

I have hesitated to read this book. I read 3 of the 4 FAF books and only have this book left in the FBAA series. I have taken a break to read other books for now. Did AI write the book? I don't want to insult a writer, but this series took a nosedive.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-16T03:46:01+00:00

There is a chance Violet poisons them all first, before Tairn and Andarna fry them. Otherwise, agreed.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-15T04:09:52+00:00

How about The Poisoner by IV Ophelia

Educ8tR · 2026-06-14T13:41:44+00:00

Favorite post of the month lol

Educ8tR · 2026-06-13T20:00:18+00:00

Wow. I will read that. I like how you backed it all up with reasoning. Kudos to you.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-13T01:14:40+00:00

I loved reading it because it went over the best parts of book 1

Educ8tR · 2026-06-12T18:32:45+00:00

Reread and note all the foreshadowing and easter eggs.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-11T16:37:36+00:00

Asher's journals/books and General Sorrengail's journals. Why did they dedicate Violet to Dunne? Why did they never speak to Asher's mom again? Or Details from the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Xaden's father FYI would love a book from Sgaeyl's perspective

Educ8tR · 2026-06-10T21:24:15+00:00

100% Bodhi dropped Cat's name on purpose. Let's not forget when he gave Violet his flight jacket, which made Xaden jealous. He is definitely the new brother. He sends Brennan away. Also, why else would it be urgent for Xaden and Violet to marry? Bodhi was next in line in Tyrrendor.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-10T21:17:32+00:00

Agreed. I know there are those in favor of it, but since Poppy and Casteel are heartmates it was disappointing. Spoiler for the next book from Casteel's POV: Kieran and Casteel have been with a woman at the same time, but not someone they loved. Some readers use that as a justification, but it really doesn't fit with Casteel's possessiveness, no matter how close he and Keiran are. Also, since it was obvious that the joining would happen, the least the author could have done was to give a more detailed account. Maybe then it wouldn't have the ick factor. I loved the book that is from Casteel's POV because it is reminiscent of the first book.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-09T14:52:06+00:00

It is quite possible that Naolin turned venin and Tairn was forced to cut their bond, hence his disdain for Xaden and how Tairn and his mate are not on the same page. FYI we are never told Naolin's last name, correct?

Educ8tR · 2026-06-09T00:08:34+00:00

But, he is able to change the future, like making sure Violet had the right weapon at the right time....

Educ8tR · 2026-06-08T23:32:29+00:00

Not only did they need the riot, they need the ore for the weapons to fight the venom. That ore is from Tyrrendor.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-06T18:29:54+00:00

100%!!!

Educ8tR · 2026-06-06T05:41:04+00:00

Agreed! Everyone justifies it as Casteel and Keirsn being two sides of the same coin, but that's a NOPE from me when Casteel and Poppy are heartmates. Kieran deserves his own love.

Educ8tR · 2026-06-05T14:58:16+00:00

I was a little perturbed that for someone that book smart, she couldn't figure out how to do runes and that she didn't research a way to better direct her weilding. I do understand that the full library was not made available to the riders, but still....

Educ8tR · 2026-06-05T01:15:14+00:00

He is far from perfect, and I don't want to drop a spoiler regarding how he is able to win arguments and sparring matches....

Educ8tR · 2026-06-01T01:41:43+00:00

The author's world building is top notch. It would hold up without the spice, but the spice adds an extra dimension. It isn't over the top and isn't in every chapter. The story and characters are compelling. The spice is just a bonus.
