A review by mistysbookspace
The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent

5.0

 Destiny and I started this series and we became so obsessed with it that we had to read all of the books that are out so far. We read the first book and the novella in August and then this book we finished this month and I can't wait for the next book to be published. Last warning that this review is going to have spoilers for the first 2 books so if you haven't read them yet please skip this review.  

So this book is the conclusion of Oraya and Raihn's story which I am kind of sad about because I love them so much but I am excited to follow other characters in the series that I have come to love as well. In this book we get both Oraya's POV and Raihn's POV which I really loved. We didn't get his POV in the first book and I didn't realize how much I wanted it until I started reading it. Each section had an interlude which talked about Raihn's past which I again loved because several of my questions were answered while reading those.  

This book picks up where the first book left off and lets just say I am not happy with hw Raihn went about doing things. He was essentially doing the same thing to Oraya that Vincent did to her. I understand why he was doing what he did but I think he could have went about it in a totally different way. As for Oraya her back and forth about her feelings for Raihn and how she didn't want to admit it even though it was glaringly obvious really was kind of annoying but she did the same thing with Vincent in the first book.  

This book is action packed, steamy and intense and I just loved every single thing about it and highly recommend. I hope we will get more of these characters in the next books but I am also looking forward to following other characters.
