A review by amiraandthecats
Kingdom of Ashes by Elena May

3.0

I'm not an avid reader of fantasy fiction and in fact, it is my first vampire book ever! So, in the beginning, I was unsure about what to wait. But once I started reading I wasn't able to put it down. I don't remember finishing any other book so quickly for the book was both very fast-moving and engrossing. My eyes were literally jumping from word to word impatient to know what is going to happen next. The only thing I didn't like about Kingdom of Ashes was the parts in which torturing scenes were described explicitly. Now I know it is not fair to complain about a vampire novel having lots of blood but it was really hard for me to keep reading those scenes. But nonetheless, I am looking forward to reading the second book and find the answers to my questions.
