5 Stars!!
“I was a princess made of ashes; there is nothing left of me to burn.
Now it's time for a queen to rise.”
This was a re-read to prepare for Lady Smoke! As I started it, everything came back to me. But once again, I was engulfed in the story and absolutely loved it all over again!!
This book is not a new story- we have all heard about the lowly chick who somehow got her kingdom taken away… and somehow- she makes a plan to get her kingdom back. Yeah.. that's this one, but SO MUCH MORE.
First of all, this book had me from the first page. I was hooked and committed. The pacing never faltered either. This is a book you'll want to binge read. The magic system is unique, but only touched on in this installment. I expect it to be explored more in the rest of the series. There is also the use of the Ash Crown, which I thought was a brilliant. The whole atmosphere of the book is somewhat dark. There are a few scenes that are brutal but added so much to the atmosphere.
There is romance, and some may say even a love triangle but, it's done in a way that didn't make me want to hurl or eye roll. The romance is actually only a small part in this one. All I know is I have my Ship and I can only pray… that it will set sail in the next few books!
Then there is the cliffhanger… had me like -
I am so glad I took the time to re-read this one. It was a favorite last year and will continue to be for this year as well! I am totally looking forward to jumping into Lady Smoke and hope it is even better than this one! If you couldn't tell already- I Highly Recommend this one! Even if you think you have heard this type of plot before, I encourage you to give it a go!
This is my Review from the first time I read it:
Everything... Everything... Everything about this book I loved! Was it perfect? Nope ... but did it entertain me?? You betcha!! Sucked me in from the first page! Have you heard this story before? Meh - maybe a little... did it stand all on its on?? Yes it most certainly did! Can we talk about the cover?? Absolutely gorgeous.. Writing: 4/5 Pacing: 5/5 World: 3/5 characters: 4/5 Plot: 4/5 Overall: 5/5 stars in my opinion for this beautiful Gem!! (Stomping feet like a two year old) I want book two right MEOWW!!!
