A Light in the Flame

by Jennifer L. Armentrout · 2022 · 752 pages · Romantasy · Flesh and Fire #2

Flesh and Fire’s long middle only: 752 pages, gods tag, slow-burn listing, still 4/5. One hundred twelve pages past Seraphena’s 640-page start. The shipped closer is a different 640-page slot — this is not that night.

The long Flesh and Fire middle: 752 pages, gods tag, slow-burn listing, 4/5. One hundred twelve pages past Seraphena’s start. Closer lives on a 640-page leaf already shipped.

How A Light in the Flame actually reads

Jennifer L. Armentrout. Flesh and Fire middle night. Gods trope joins forbidden love. Engrossing, slow-burn pace on this leaf.

HowTo: A Shadow in the Ember first, then this 752-pager, then A Fire in the Flesh (already on chassis as the closer).

Spice 4/5 explicit plus fantasy violence. HEA guaranteed. 752 pages is the commitment, not a 640-page palate cleanser.
