Overall, people need to remember JLA is a human and while it’s completely valid to critique a book, being respectful about it is also crucial for good discourse to happen. Again, art is subjective, so these are my personal feelings, which I understand might not be how others feel. What I'm most disappointed with is the potential for this series to be so much better is clearly there, but sometimes the execution isn't the best. As someone who grew up on epic high fantasy, some of the worldbuilding complexity and high intensity battle scenes were great–those last few chapters–so good! I am still excited for the next book in the series because of this ending. However TWOTQ took a major departure from the more traditional love story many were expecting and people were NOT happy (including myself).įirst things first. It’s sexy (though occasionally too spicy for me), the villains are well developed and loathsome, and you’re rooting for the love story, while also trying to keep all the interesting creatures and lore straight. I first read the From Blood and Ash series back in December 2020, and even though I had a lot of issues with the grammar and writing style, and still do, the first two books were the beginnings of a fantastic fantasy story. It’s been quite the controversial release on Booktok. Now that the hardback version is finally out, I figured it’d be a good time to share my thoughts on The War of Two Queens, book four in Jennifer L.
