really liked this! dystopian, not sure who to trust or what to do, slow burn romance. the sheer amount of typos prevent this from being a 4 star book… well that and the whole 20 year old main characters
When I first picked up this book I thought it was multiple books in one because she’s a thickkkkkkk one. When I found out it was not only one book but the FIRST book of a SERIES?! You can bet I looked and it and sang Please Please Please by Sabrina carpenter. (You know the part
soooo incredibly good so so so so so good. if you loved divergent you will LOVE this
I am absolutely in LOVE with this series so far. It is so different from what I’ve been reading, but enough of my favorite things to keep me HOOKED from start to finish. I was instantly hooked from the PROLOGUE! Can’t say that very often.. 5/5. I can’t wait to continue on with this series. I kept asking myself how is this series only the PREQUEL?!?!

Set in a dystopian world where society is sharply divided between the privileged Untouchables and the impoverished Unfortunates, *Kingdom of Fallen Ash* follows the intertwining lives of Forest, an ambitious Untouchable who begins to unravel the truth behind her society’s oppressive structure, and Fallan, an Unfortunate driven by a deep-seated desire for vengeance. As the secrets of their world unfold, they must navigate a web of lies, rebellion, and the harsh realities of their divided society. Together, they confront the question: can free will exist in a world so steeped in deception?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially the storyline. The society depicted in the novel is one where nothing is as it seems, and the protagonist, Forest, is determined to separate truth from the lies that are literally implanted in people’s brains. The sci-fi aspect of the story is eerily relevant, considering how our society is edging closer to technologies like health-monitoring chips.
The sexual tension between Forest and Fallan was absolutely delightful. I’m a sucker for the "I hate you because I love you" trope, and these two characters nailed it. Their connection feels fated, yet I find myself equally intrigued by Xavier. He’s painted as a villain but insists he isn’t? Since he didn’t come from New Haven I really want to know where did he come from? Could there be other societies out there?
The writing did get a little awkward after Forest and Fallan finally gave in to their urges (FINALLY!), but the plot was so captivating that I can easily overlook a few clunky sentences. I’m already diving into the second book and can't wait to devour the entire series. There are currently four prequel books that set the stage for the six main books in the series, one of which is already published. I hope Katerina speeds up the process because I’m ready to binge them all!
