Who she is-this beautiful, strong, intelligent, endlessly curious and kind woman who was as much a victim of the Ascended as any Atlantians.” “Somewhere along the way, I no longer saw her as a bargaining chip or a tool for revenge. “Apparently, you don’t, since you just asked three of them.”Īnd though she used to feel a self-conscious of her scars, now Poppy stands proud and looks straight into peoples’ eyes without absolute fear of what they’ll think of her. “Seriously? Do you ever get tired of asking so many?” “Yet another question?” Kieran leaned back, crossing his arms. I love that all the questions she asks annoys Kieran endlessly. Her curiosity also never ceases to amaze me xD. And being declared as the fiance of the Prince of Atlantia-well, of course she’s going to have a lot of enemies and hatred directed towards her.Įven so, she speaks her mind and refuses to let anyone put her down or scorn her. Finally, after being subjected to a life of no choices and silence, Poppy can now be herself and speak out to those who insult her. I love this girl so much.🥰 She’s such a strong and witty female protagonist. Poppy has got to be one of my all time favourite MCs. “But he was the first thing I’d ever truly chosen for myself.” I didn’t get to choose what I ate, when I left my chambers, or who was allowed to even touch me.” I was Chosen to be given to the gods, even though I never chose the life. “I was the Maiden, nearly groomed my entire life to remain pure and focused only on my Ascension. She definitely wanted to stab someone.😈🤣 And so it began: The battle between Poppy & Casteel.🔥⚔️

Well, you can guess how that went with Poppy…….

everything.🤧😍Ī🛑WARNING: SPOILERS FROM FB&A BELOW!!!🛑Ī Kingdom of Flesh and Fire picks up literally right after Casteel Da’Neer aka The Dark One aka the Prince of Atlantia aka Hawke Flynn (xD so many different names) declares to all about his plans to marry the once-Maiden, Poppy Balfour. How does she do it?!?! Casteel, Poppy, and Kieran have got to be my favourite characters from all of her books. I didn’t even think it was possible to love JLA more than I already do, but it is. “I’m Poppy and you’re Casteel, and this is real.”Ĭan you hear me crying? That’s also real.ĪKOFAF is definitely one of the best books of 2020 and my favourite from JLA.🥰 A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L.
