The keyword for this book is inconsistency. JLA opens Fire in the Flesh with three action packed chapters, that were the best she ever written, and then moves forward to a series of circling and tedious monologues, to pick up again the action, immediately after loosing my interest.

I hardly ever consider DNF a book, and this was a strong candidate for me. I did finish it, but only after pausing it for a bit. Ironically, I've paused reading it exactly one page before the return of some sort of plot/ action, which was quite unfortunate.

A Light in the Flame it's just an info dump to support a new idea for Blood & Ash. If you enjoy that series, you'll need to read this one before, I don't see a way around it.

Most of the book was absolutely unnecessary! There are even scenes that were actually good and end up being unnecessary (key to the jail in case some of you have forgotten
