Visions of Flesh and Blood

This compendium is helpful... ... but if you really need to read it, it depends on some factors... First, it's not a typical Jennifer L. Armentrout book. It's not a story, but sequences of information about every relevant characters of the Blood and Ash & Flesh and Fire. It contains character art, profile, and a resume of what each one has already lived within the series. I think that it's helpful for readers' imagination and to get the context. Specifically as both series are connected to each other. Flesh and Fire is the backstory with Sera and Ash/Nyktos and Blood and Ash with Poppy and Cas their continuation. Both series are interconnected in some ways. Further, this book contains more art like maps, pictures of crowns, and thrones and information about them. The best parts are the bonus chapters, interviews with charthe readers have a liking, diary entries from Miss Willa, love letter exchanges... Oh, that was fun. But let's get tacheles: Do you need it? If you read both series (meaning: Flesh and Fire + Blood and Ash), the answer is no. It is great to have the bonuses, but it doesn't add much to the story, if. If you read only one of the series and want to get the backstory in easy doses, then the answer is yes, you should read this compendium. Or if you don't want to read all the books again before starting the newest book in the series, the answer is a definite yes for reading this book, too. conclusion: For all the fans of the Flesh and Fire & Blood and Ash series. If you want a little bonus or if you're an aspiring author, this might be helpful in how Jennifer L. Armentrout did create this world and characters, and how she could still be up to date while writing the series. book description: VISIONS OF FLESH AND BLOOD: a Blood and Ash/Flesh and Fire Compendium is a comprehensive companion guide for background, history, reader-favorite information, art, and reference materials.
