About this listen

War is only the beginning...

From number one New York Times best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book four in her Blood and Ash series.

From the desperation of golden crowns...

Casteel Da’Neer knows all too well that very few are as cunning or vicious as the Blood Queen, but no one, not even him, could’ve prepared for the staggering revelations. The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable.

And born of mortal flesh...

Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for. With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards behind her, and the support of the wolven, Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way - because there can be no retreat this time. Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace.

A great primal power rises...

Together, Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear - to protect those who cannot defend themselves. But war is only the beginning. Ancient primal powers have already stirred, revealing the horror of what began eons ago. To end what the Blood Queen has begun, Poppy might have to become what she has been prophesied to be - what she fears the most.

As the Harbinger of Death and Destruction.

The story line picks up but its slow. The sex scenes are cringe and unnecessary. I'll listen to the series just to know how it ends but I'm not a fan.

It's okay

Okay it's still a good book but it's not as good as the others.
I feel like you wouldn't get half of it if you haven't read the spin off.. And that shouldn't be.
Also I HATE what they did with Kieran he should have had his own love interest!
And Casteel idk.. I liked he got his own narrator now but not sure of their choice of narrator. And he seems like a side piece that only has sex on his brains which I'm pretty sure he does cause he is who he is.. But his depth and his character seems somehow neclected in this book. Which I'd actually also say about Kieran.

Many times I had to skip forward as some of the conversations made me cringe 😅🤣 sometimes it felt like 12 years old talking to each other ( even though some of them are hundreds of years old or more) and then the sex scenes were so bad, I just couldn't listen to this. The first book was ok ish, but after that the last 3 I was questioning myself why I am still listening to them, probably because I bought them in advance 😅
there were some good bits and the story actually evolved, some lines made me laugh, so I gave it 3 stars, but I wont be reading or listening more of her books.

Very mixed feelings about these books

Great story left you wanting more, couldn't stop listening, I felt submerged in the book.

definitely recommend

It was amazing, even if slow at times, I really like it flowed and change, as well as the wealth of information that we got. The way Kieran and Poppy got closer and relied on each other for strength and support during Cas’s captivity was beautiful and completely fine. That ending was quite something.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that Stina did make a lot of mistakes with names etc. despite that I still love her performance.

Love this book

Struggling for words to describe exactly how much I enjoyed this book. Fourth in the series, with incredibly written twisting plot, answering many questions and raising too many more. It’s outstanding, what we all have come to expect from Jennifer L Armentrout. It left me breathless with joy and anticipation, filled with anxiety and rooting for the characters until the last page. The narration made the book even better for me. Thoroughly and most highly recommended.

Wow - just wow

This book delivered on all my expectations! I can’t wait for ASITE2 now. My only criticism of the recording is that the narrator cannot pronounce the word “entombed” which crops up a lot and as she voices all the characters no one can pronounce it properly - it’s always “entuumed” rather than “entoomed” which kept breaking me out of the moment. The actual story and the rest of the narration was on point and a joy.

Loved it!

I've been enjoying this series, but this book was nowhere near as good as I was hoping.

It didn't actually end properly, and the last half hour felt like a retroactive infodump.

I also agree with the other reviewers' points:

The Joining event had been signposted from really early on then made into a big thing, but in the end it was just a confusing, vague act.

The narration by Stina was a great performance on the whole, except for the pronunciation of 'eeeeeeether' and 'entyumed', and Kieren's wavering accent. The male narrator sounds like an American doing a posh British accent, which makes it quite cringey. He also makes Poppy sound whiney, which is annoying.

Casteel's character has become less interesting, while Kieren has become more interesting.

And the never-ending escalation of manipulations by the Blood Queen just got annoying for me, rather than keeping up the tension.

Having said all that, I know I'll be reading the next book.

giant anticlimax

Love the story, of course! was not disappointed and it was AMAZING! This is my favourite series ever!!!
I always love Stina's narration in everything she does. I personally don't like male narrators, their "female voices" are always ridiculous and throw me out of the story every time. Thankfully not too many chapters with it though. I personally would have preferred Stina to have narrated the whole book, her male voices are fantastic. It would have been utter perfection if it had been just her voice.

The story did not disappoint

I’ve been wanting a POV from Cas for a while, but after 3 books of the same reader, I got used to the style and pace, starting this book with a different reader, that’s faster and the style is different made it really hard to want to keep listening. Just super jarring and annoying 😫 would have been totally fine to use the original reader for both parts

Jarring narrator
