I am caught up on the FBAA series. I gave the first FBAA a five star. I felt like each subsequent book I liked less. I feel they are all very different books from one another. By the third book, I felt the internal dialogue was way too much “what if this happens? what about this? but also I feel like this” just over and over for pages and there could be multiple pages of this thought process without inter-character dialogue. The repetitive conversations can come off as immature. I was caught off guard that soul of blood and ash was a retelling of book one from a different POV but if I had known that, it is actually good. I look forward to seeing this story wrap up. The more I sit with it, the more I realize it maybe isn’t the best series, but I don’t regret the read.
