It's week 3 with A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by JLA. We're reading chapters 23-34. This week we hear all about heartmates, and Poppy has to decide whether she'll let Casteel feed from her or not, which leads to some steamy scenes, and Poppy's powers change and become more interesting. Poppy and Casteel have some time off so they visit a hot spring where things get steamy and just when things start to look up - everyone at Spessa's End gets the news that the Ascended are coming!
