Okay but Visions of Flesh and Blood?? Literal perfection. It’s like the ultimate love letter to Nyktos and Sera fans. Extra scenes, gorgeous art, and all the juicy lore—I’m obsessed. If you’re into the Flesh and Fire world, you need this on your shelf.

Finally. The reader is gifted with the source for Poppy's titillation and blushes.
Miss Willa's sensual romp thru the pages is laid out for the reader. So too are the meanings behind the phrases used by the characters and the beings that inhabit the book. A wonderful addition to the world building done by this incomparable romantasy author who is a pioneer in this genre.

#VisionsofFleshandBlood #NetGalley

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

This story was a recap of everything that has happened in the Blood and Ash and Fire and Flesh series so far.

We got some bonus chapters from both series, some POV from extras characters and some fun stories.

However, I feel this didn't move the storyline along- it was a similar vibe to A Soul of Ash and Blood, which basically was Cas retelling the story from his POV but with nothing new to add.

I think the the series has been super dragged out at this point and I just want the conclusion. Also noting this book was over 500 pages which is a big boy for essentially no new information.

This is a book I’ve been waiting for for a long time! And it definitely lived up to my expectations. Loved it. A definite must read

I fear I am obsessed with this series and I cannot wait for more from this author!

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!

I liked this book as a quick review of all the books I read as a way to get me refreshed and ready to read the upcoming new books in the series as I had finished the Flesh and Fire and From Blood and Ash series almost a year ago. I love how two separate series have been interwoven, with their separate love stories and epic wars.

I can’t wait for the Primal of Blood and Bond in June! One day, I hope I can join the author’s ARC group.

My only negative comment is that I had bee. Hoping that this was more spicy because of the main voice… but it was not as tantalizing as the books.

Solid database of information for the series for the fans and those just getting into it. TBH it would be great to have something similar to this for Fourth Wing because goodness knows there’s a lot going on by Onyx Storm.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read.

Oh the scandal!!!! Miss Willa is a legendary icon and ahhh, I just love her.

Not only is the artwork throughout absolutely stunning but this the perfect compendium for both the Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire series. This definitely helps readers pick up where they left off or even catch them up on previous books before the next in the series is released - thus relieving the stress of having to do a full reread!

I loved the bonus chapters we received but my favourite parts are the diary entries from Miss Willa - her and Vikter!?!?! Whaaaat!!!!???? I was kicking my legs!!!

Absolutely brilliant and perfect for fans of both series!

Visions of Flesh and Blood is a great resource for fans of the series—packed with details, world-building insights, and extra content that deepens the overall story. That said, it did feel like a lot of filler at times. While it’s fun to revisit the world, some parts dragged and didn’t add much beyond what we already know. Still, a solid addition for die-hard fans looking to immerse themselves further.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Absolutely love everything about this compendium. I have been a huge fan of this series, and this is quite the treat if you are a fan. I can’t recommend it enough!

Honestlyyyyyy I’m getting serious fatigue with this whole series because of all the fluff JLA is putting out. It just feels like the series got popular so they’re padding it out and trying to get as many saleable products out of it before the conclusion.

This book is entirely unnecessary. It is a glossary that reads like those online fan wikis - that you can read for free. In between there are a handful of bonus scenes, none of which add to the plot and are the kind of bonus chapters you’d expect to see on an authors website, again, FOR FREE.

This was just exhausting. Please, for the love of god JLA, just write the story. No more alternate POV rehashes, no more random fluff, just TELL THE STORY.

Great addition to the series. Shame Mrs Willa's book from the book hasn't made it to be an add on though as I would love that. But loved to hear her take on what has happened thus far and hopefully get to hear more from her in the future

3,5⭐️ Visions of Flesh and Blood is a companion novel that serves of the perfect summary of the intricate plotlines from both fbaa and faf series.

One of the most interesting and unique aspects of this book is that it’s narrated by Willa, a beloved secondary character of mine (i love how eccentric she is). I absolutely love the comments she adds at the plot, making the story feel different even if you already know the events.

The book also includes never-before-seen scenes that bring extra depth. Nonetheless, the retelling from multiple characters’ perspectives can become repetitive, but it still provides more insight to the story and context.

If you’ve read the other books recently, you might not find essential to read this one. However, for those who haven’t visited this world in a while (like myself) it’s the perfect compendium. It’s also a great companion to keep handy while reading the next books of the series to revisit key terms, characters, and moments (trust me, i will be using it).

And, please, let’s not forget the stunning illustrations, because it is worth having this book on your shelf for the artwork alone.

An amazing resource for the FBAA world!

Lets be honest and all agree that the FBAA universe is huge and filled with a million different elements haha.
having it all (mostly) in one place is so helpful! I can be insanely forgetful, so being able to look back and glance through Visions is a lifesaver.

All of the stunning art also makes this the not only a perfect collectable for lovers of the series, it also helps those who have aphantasia see what the characters look like!

A nice useful guide to both the Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire worlds. I can see it being especially handy when The Primal of Blood and Bone comes out as the two stories combine.

I would have liked it to have had a few more exclusive scenes or stories from Willa, without them it feels like a very long glossary.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book!

YES!

While this does not truly "continue" the story -- this is a fantastic read for any fan of Blood and Ash! It is a compendium which is needed in such a long and intricate series.

This was a great and helpful summary of FBAA and F&F before we get the next book(s). The Ms. Willa entries are fun along with the additional bonus scenes. This is not a continuation of either series, so if you are looking for that, you will be disappointed.

This was a great read! If you love the from blood and ash books then you need this book! It provides great insight and details to her books.

What a great addition to the series!

I honestly wish all the long series would have abook like this, with some recap, some insight. Not only very interesting, but, also, interesting and entertaining.

Visions of Flesh and Blood is an incredible bible of all this From Blood & Ash and Flesh and Fire. I just recently completed a reread of both series, and wish I’d been reading this compendium in parallel. Literally every detail you could imagine wanting to know is in here - down to the different tastes Poppy gets from each emotion she senses.

I love the bonus content here - particularly the scene of Poppy at the lake with Tawny, and of Poppy & Cas. The interview with Kiernan was a cute idea and had me giggling. More than anything, the lore here is incredible, and speaks to how much thought JLA has put into this world. I felt that viscerally while I was at Apollycon this year (and got to live the fantastically rich Night of the Rite); this compendium is a further credit to the depth of her writing here. It’s also an ideal one to have on hand in a ebook as it makes for easy searching.

Will definitely use this as a get-up-to-speed read and a reference once the Primal of Blood & Bone comes out!
