Having only a sample of the story, it’s hard to provide a review but I can say that I would keep reading if I had more to do so. The characters so far are interesting and the main character has enough of a teased back story that I’m interested in learning more. As far as fantasy romance goes, this is a good start. I’m excited for when the book comes out so I can read the rest.

This was just a part of the story but in Armentrout fashion, I need the rest of it right! I love her books and can't wait to finish this new fantasy by her!

Thank you for an ARC of this sample. But, Why, oh, why is this only a sample?!? This is so good!!! I need more! September 12th seems like forever away! 😭🥹 The world building is amazing and unique. The characters are interesting. I need to know what’s going to happen! 😂
I can’t wait to read the whole story 🖤

*not so patiently waiting for the pub date*

I am shocked at where it ends. I want and need more of this book already. The FMC has interesting abilities that I can’t wait to see unfold. I have many questions about this possible war and the highborn lord she feels this intense reaction for. I wonder how the book will continue, but already an amazing start.

It is difficult to truly review a book based on only the first few chapters, but I did enjoy this sample of Jennifer L Armentrout's newest book. There is quite a bit of worldbuilding, as one would expect from a fantasy novel, but it was quite dense to try and make sense of at times. To be honest, I didn't fully understand all of the info dumping about the government and social structures and types of powers. Presumably if one reads the full book this would all make sense. I do plan to read the full book when it is published, and can give a full review after reading.

Fall of Ruin and Wrath is the first in a new series for Jennifer Armentrout. I have read and enjoyed her Blood and Ash, and Flesh and Fire series and was excited to receive this title. Though this was only a sample I did receive the full ARC through my job.I found I actually enjoyed this one more than her previous series.

"Fall of Ruin and Wrath" by Jennifer L. Armentrout delivers a scorching and immersive fantasy romance that will captivate readers from the very first page. In a world divided by chaos and ruled by guardians who feed on mortal pleasure, Calista's unique intuition becomes her greatest asset and vulnerability. Armentrout skillfully crafts a rich and vivid setting, blending elements of danger, desire, and the supernatural. The chemistry between Calista and the traveling prince ignites the pages, and their complex dynamic adds layers of tension to an already intricate plot. As the city grapples with rebellion and uncertainty, Calista's choices become pivotal, forcing her to navigate the treacherous paths of loyalty and love. Armentrout's writing is lush and compelling, drawing readers into a world where intrigue and romance intertwine seamlessly. The story's fast-paced narrative and expertly woven suspense will keep readers on the edge of their seats. "Fall of Ruin and Wrath" is a testament to Armentrout's storytelling prowess, offering an intoxicating blend of fantasy, romance, and suspense that will leave readers eager for more.

Even though it was only a sample, what I read was a true delight! It has been a long time since I have read a fantasy that was as richly drawn and excellently written as this one! The characters were wonderful, the romance perfect, and the fantasy world excellent and detailed, rich world that I got lost in. An excellent story and wonderful chemistry between the characters made the pages fly by. Five stars!

It’s hard to get a real vibe from the book from a sampler, but it definitely has JLA flair. I was originally disappointed it wasn’t more of the from blood and ash world, but I’m definitely intrigued and buying this one!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This was my first Armentrout novel, and I throughly enjoyed it. Her world building is in my top 10, and she shows how simple and complex what it means to someone who is longing to just touch another being.

Lis is your MFC and you learn early on about her gifts and her past, and what that means for her future. Intuition is always a good guide, but what if it leads you to more than you asked?

I luckily got a full ARC from work so I am continuing, but wanted to pop in and say so far it is a slow start with the world building, but there's also foreshadowing and explanations of each character. I'm so excited to continue reading.

I really enjoyed reading the first three chapters of this book and look forward to reading the rest when it comes out. The only issue was the physical structure of the writing - lots of elipses which were very distracting. Maybe find a way to edit? Thank you for giving me the sample to read and review.

Even though I only received a sample, I am giving this book a 5 star based on expectations I have of the author from reading her previous work. In hind sight I should not have read this sample, because I CANNOT WAIT to read the entire book! Very excited to hear more about these characters.

Thanks to Netgalley for sending me this preview! Looking forward to reading the rest of this new fantasy romance.

Although there is a lot going on in the first chapter or two that we are able to read before publication, I definitely got sucked into the world that Calista lives in. I haven't read any books by Jennifer Armentrout but I'm looking forward to getting this as soon as I can!

Thank you Netgalley for the sample of Fall of Ruin and Wrath. All opinions are my own.

Publication date: 13 September 2023

I read the first three chapters of Fall of Ruin and Wrath, and I am interested to read more of the story. Lis is an orphan girl with the power of foresight when see touches another person, and sometimes sees the future or has pre-knowledge even without a touch. She finds sanctuary as a young woman as part of the household of a count. The story takes place in a kingdom controlled by a hierarchy of different classes based on magical powers, it seems like some of these powers come from having a godly/ angelic being in your ancestry. The world building information is woven into the story, so I assume as the book goes on, I would learn more information about the magic system and power plays going on in the country. While there was no sex in the first three chapters, it's kind of implied that there will be NSFW scenes later on.

While only the first three chapters are available, Fall of Ruin and Wrath has a hold on me!

Jennifer L. Armentrout’s first foray into high fantasy was with her From Blood and Ash series. Fall of Ruin and Wrath marks her second fantasy series.

Personally, I believe JLA was always destined to write fantasy. While her entire backlog speaks for itself, there is something potent in her works of fantasy. They are alluring and unputdownable!

In an instant, JLA captivates her audience and leaves readers paralyzed—stuck consuming page after page until the realization dawns that hours have gone by and life’s responsibilities await.

Fall of Ruin and Wrath has taken the forefront of my thoughts. I can not wait to discover what lies ahead when the book releases on September 12th.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group for this exclusive excerpt.

Great start to a book, I can’t wait for more! I’m already invested in the characters and I need to see their journey play out

I breathe for the longing only Jennifer Armentrout can create in her couples: their tension, yearning, the steam. We are like moths drawn to Lis and Thorne, becoming lost in their glorious inferno. Ready to burn? Come join us, the party is only beginning.

Just a preview and I'm already hooked....,can't wait to get to dive into the rest of this story. This preview and is a great first look at the world Jennifer is creating and a glimpse of a strong but yet still emotionally fragile MFC. Looking forward to meeting the MMC and seeing how his and Calista's relationship moves forward.
