A review by stefmccleish
We Are the Ashes, We Are the Fire by Joy McCullough

4.0

Really a 4.5 for me. I loved the inclusion of Jess who identifies as non-binary and whose preferred pronouns are they/them. The medieval stuff is just not my vibe, but I know it will be for other readers. I loved the concept of Em writing her own story to “change history” and also her perspective in general. How she navigates her sister’s assault and what it is like to be a sibling who can’t take that hurt away are important and interesting experiences to explore. This book accomplishes so much.
