A review by chaynesb
To Ashes and Dust by Luna Laurier

2.0

Wait you are telling me that

the fucking lady of darkness, evil queen, disguised herself as a 6 year old and then went to first grade-high school. Plus college. That's like Sauron pretending to go to element school. 
That makes no sense. She could have been a loving aunt or met her in highschool. I mean literally anything . What kind of writing is that? And she's been kidnapped from forests how many times and she didn't bring a dagger? Or have her husband on speed dial? 

So many mistakes.

 There are a lot of typos in the first book , even in the revised version. then the events of the novella do not agree with what is said in book 2. She says her parents never met Barret....they literally did at solstice in 1.5 .  She said Lucia lived 1435-1885 and the next sentenced said "I lived over three hundred years." ....ya'll that's simple math and is over 400 years. 

These things aren't the end of the world but they do bring you out of the book and make me question what else was written wrong. Just adds to an overall confusion and takes a way from the narrative. 

I'll be honest i don't love this books , i think they are cheesy and Damien is so reserved, i keep being told of his adoration but I don't see it. He doesn't tell her anything. It's just weird.  I liked this book okay but pretty much nothing happened until the end.
