4.0
Original review can be found here.
“Being a monster doesn’t make you a monster.”
In Heir of Ashes we meet Roxanne Fosch. Her life was pretty normal at he age of twelve. Her dreams of a perfect, successful and prosperous future seemed well within her grasp.
By the time she was twenty-two, she had become a commodity. A fugitive. She was being hunted. As Roxanne embarks on the dangerous quest to search for half-truths about her past, she discovers she’s not just an abnormal human, but a rarity even among her peers. She is hunted by scientists, keen to exploit her extraordinary abilities, as well as other beings far more dangerous whose plans for her she cannot fanthom
“How can a monster tell if he’s a monster if he’s never known anything else.”
First of all, I want to thank Jina for getting me a digital review copy!
First I read the prequel to Heir of Ashes, which is The Curse. The Curse tells you the events that happened before Heir of Ashes. But The Curse confused me, and it made me dread Heir of Ashes a bit. But Heir of Ashes was so different! I fell in love with the writing style. It was an amazing book that I loved. It felt like a mix of a few (urban) fantasies that I loved. Thanks to this, the story felt very familiar. It sort of felt like coming home after a long day.
Roxanne is such a lovely character! She went through so much, and you know what events shaped her. It felt like she went through a few developments in this book and we as readers keep cheering on her from the sideline!
I loved the events that happened in this book, it was never boring, and there was always some sort of edge to the story. Because you knew something was going to happen, but you never knew what.
I ended up giving this book 4,5 out of 5 stars
