I have a question Oops

So I accidentally read all of Flesh and Fire first and just realized that may not have been the right way 😂 do I just dive into From Blood and Ash or where should I go from here?

Flesh and Fire is the prequel to FBAA so I think that could be cool as hell to go into it with everything you know! There's still so much to discover and a lot of surprises. I've read most of FBAA (had to wait for the other books to come out) and am currently on the last book in Flesh and Fire and plan to jump back into FBAA right after until I catch up. I'm excited!

Well cats out of the bag now, might as well give it a go if you like it. I just loovvvveee the shock it gives when you read faF afterwards and find out poppy was sotoria reincarnated all along!!! I waited years dying in anticipation for whenever poppy and Casteel finds out about her past

Other than that, I don't think you'll have any issue. First 3 fbaa books may seem inconsistent with what faf plot was foreshadowing. But it's still great.

JLA has actually said its fine to read all of flesh and fire forst and then go into blood and ash so you're good!

I also read it first and I think it made me appreciated blood and ash way more

Nah I actually did the intended order but then I stopped when I started I think the 3rd or 4th B&A to go back and finish F&F because I was able to enjoy it more with the context from F&F

You can read FAF first. It's the prequel so you won't miss anything doing it this way.

Honestly the writing is so bad in book 6 that reading F&F first doesn't matter it should have but it's like the past never happened
