Ash & Bramble by Sarah Prineas

3.0

Loved it! Even though Ash & Bramble was a thick book, I flew through it. I liked the story, the twists, and the ending... however, the first person/third person narration switches bothered me. That technique made it easy to tell whose point of view it was, but for some reason, I didn’t like it. Also, there was an abrupt change between parts one and two that didn’t flow well enough for me. It was like reading two different books, which is probably what the author was trying to do. It worked well for her, but instead of contributing to the story, it made me wonder why the first part of the book was even there. At the end it all came together, and I liked it, and I’m totally looking forward to the next book in the series - but Ash & Bramble wasn’t perfect.

This post probably sounds more negative than I meant it too. I really did like the book, and I definitely thought it was significantly better than the average fairy-tale retelling.
