Heir of Ashes by H.M. Darling
4.0
I thought the book was really good. It had me addicted from page 1. There were so many twists and turns and you really felt for Phoenix at many times when she was struggling with everything that was going on. Dorian was the highlight of the book and I really wish we had chapters from his POV.
I did have some issues with the book though. Sometimes some of the sentences did not make sense and some of the sub characters sucked. Take Beck for example it was referred many times that Beck used the pronouns as they/their/them. I kind of wished this was explained more when they were introduced it automatically started with the pronouns and it was kind of confusing and distracted from the book. At one point, Beck was referred to as him/he and then a paragraph later as they/them. I don’t have a major problem with this it just go confusing a lot. The runner characters I felt like deserved more of an introduction than their names. She mainly mentions their names but doesn’t really explain what they bring to the team. Dorian was perfection so I have no complaints about him.
Other than a few misspelled words and sentences that didn’t really make sense (it wasn’t that common), I really enjoyed the book. The storyline was awesome but I also wish there was more explanation as to the world because it is definitely not modern.
