One of my favorite aspects of the Blood and Ash / Flesh and Fire series is the world building; and with both series being so detail oriented, it can be difficult to remember it all. That’s why Visions of Flesh and Blood is a must-have for any fan of the series. Visions compiles all of the information in one convenient place, making it easier for readers to quickly look up info or to refresh their memory between releases.

Written from the perspective of fan-favorite character, Miss Willa, this compendium combines a history of the realms with character profiles, a glossary of terms and pronunciation guide, maps, character art, and entries from Miss Willa’s scandalous personal journals. In addition, Visions contains never before seen short stories/scenes, interviews with characters, letters, notes, memorable moments, and playlists.

I love how this compendium is formatted; it is obvious that a lot of care went into its compilation. What I love the most about Visions is how it reads. Instead of just providing a summation of people and places, Willa puts a piece of herself into the text, and the reader gets to experience it all through her Seer eyes, or vision if you will. She interjects commentary along with moments of reflection, and at times offers up some much-needed levity.

Visions is an absolute delight, and it is a book that I know I will come back to again and again!
