The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent

adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.25

This book didn’t have as much going on as the first one. Because of Six Scorched Roses I thought Vale and Lilith would be more present in this book, but they weren’t very involved for most of the story. 

I appreciated the answers to questions I had throughout reading the duology and loved the focus on character development in this book. 

Something I felt that was lacking in this book compared to the War of Lost Hearts series was that complexity of the villain. 

Overall a good book that left me wrecked at some parts. Carissa Broadbent is a great author, excited to read more of her books!
