A Fire in the Flesh

This was such a surprise - and not in a good way. 3 stars for a historically amazing series and characters I'm still invested in despite the mess this installment was. As many others, I have actually preferred the Sera and Nyktos saga over the original. It had fun developments, a witty and sharp main heroine, lots of stuff happening and many lovable characters. Here - Sera is transformed into someone unrecognizable. The dialogue is subpar with only moments that truly clicked, moved, or resonated. Most of the book reads like a summary of the previous two books without the action, just reminiscing on how things used to be and past events - and I can definitely relate! I found myself going back to the past two books just to make sure I didn't hallucinate that they were indeed great. What happened here? I just don't get it. So sad
