Ashes by Iona Wayland

5.0

Wow. This was brilliant. The way the author weaved in horror/fantasy elements with the main character's struggles with grief and trauma was unlike anything I have ever read before.

It took me a few chapters to get into the first-person, present tense writing style - as well as the strangeness of the Hollow Forest world - but once I did, I could not put this book down!

Highly, highly recommend! I'm looking forward to reading what Iona writes next.
