The Ashfire King
by Chelsea Abdullah
ANNNND we are back! Back to one of my favorite settings in a fantasy world. The Ashfire King is book two in The Sandsea Trilogy. The first book The Stardust Thief was by far one of my favorite fantasy books that came out in 2022 so this was long awaited and highly anticipated. Something I really wish I did was reread this first one! Luckily as I did start reading this it did start coming back to me more. As I a a voracious reader and tend to consume a lot of books sometimes it is har for me to recall everything.
The Ashfire King basically picks up were we left off. I loved how it started! The opener had me laughing. I loved it when books open with the types of lines this one did. We find that Louie, Mazen and Rijah are all now in a “foreign land” The jinn city of Dhahahb is where they are going. And this city is sinking.
I feel that the traveling to this change of scenery and going back and forth between our three major POVs, Louie, Mazen, and Aisha, kept everything flowing pretty easily and had me not wanting to put the book down…even when I had to.
I loved that we got to see carpet riding and there was still continuous world building. The characters to me were still very well done. I really want to grab the audiobooks of book 1 and this one and listen to them as I feel the immersive experience will make it all that much better for myself.
Overall this was still very fun to read and easy to get lost in. I can’t wait for the third and final installment.
Thank you Orbit for the complimentary advance reader copy. My thoughts and opinions are my own!!
