It’s Series Saturday here at Literary Gluttony, and I couldn’t resist sinking my teeth into one of the most talked-about romantasy sagas of recent years—Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Blood and Ash series. If you’ve been following my reviews, you know I’ve been devouring the books from the prequel series, Flesh and Fire, one by one, savoring every twist, betrayal, and kiss that sets pages ablaze.

This series has everything: forbidden love, brutal betrayals, gods and mortals colliding, political intrigue, and enough steam to fog up your reading glasses. Poppy, our fierce Maiden-turned-warrior, grows from sheltered and silenced to unstoppable and unapologetic—and watching her evolution is half the fun. And then there’s Casteel, the brooding, sharp-tongued prince who manages to be both utterly infuriating and devastatingly irresistible. Together? Sparks. Chaos. Perfection.

But it’s not just the romance that makes this series shine. Armentrout builds a sprawling, lore-rich world that begs you to wander its dark corners and dangerous courts. Each book unspools more secrets, more gods, more consequences—and just when you think you know where it’s heading, she flips the board entirely.

Here’s the lineup if you’re ready to binge:

• From Blood and Ash
• Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
• The Crown of Gilded Bones
• The War of Two Queens
• A Soul of Ash and Blood
• The Primal of Blood and Bone

And yes, the story isn’t done yet. Which means we’ll all be clawing at the calendar until the next release.

If you’re craving a series that blends epic fantasy with heart-racing romance and isn’t afraid to get a little messy along the way, the Blood and Ash books will happily ruin your weekend plans. Trust me—you won’t regret it.
