Something I really appreciated about A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire was that it literally picked up the moment that From Blood and Ash ended. The payoff, as with the first book, is well worth all the frustration in my opinion. It’s not because Hawke admitted anything groundbreaking and Poppy refused to believe it, but just because Poppy seemed to cling to this line of reasoning like a wet shirt.Īnd so I began to feel bad for Hawke, and annoyed with Poppy.īut it all works out, it just took an insanely long time to get there.
Instead he keeps dancing around it, perpetuating this farce of a reason for marrying Poppy that every reader knows its a load of crap.īut somewhere along the way in the story, my frustration switched to Poppy. And I don’t blame her.ĭuring my moments of understanding, Hawke was so infuriating because all the man had to do was come out and say he was sorry and explain his true feelings, which were very clearly there.
It sort of flirted the lines between tolerable and downright frustrating.Ĭonsidering everything that happened in From Blood and Ash, I granted Poppy some leniency earlier on in the story. The romantic tension from the enemies to lovers storyline in this book drove me nuts. All right, I need to get something off my chest first, because I have nearly nothing but praise for Kingdom of Flesh and Fire.
