A review by trudywoo
Kingdom of Ashes by Elena May
4.0
Note: I received the book free from the We ♥ YA Books! group and the author in exchange for a honest review.
Since Twilight especially, I've been a fan of books about vampires, and I'm always intrigued how authors manipulate the mythology to create something new. I enjoyed reading Elena May's creation, although it did take me a bit to get into the story. I'm still not sure if I like the protagonist; she is flawed and can be a bit immature or selfish. I liked how she grows to see that the world isn't always black and white. The "Weather Wizard" is a creative invention and I certainly can see our world creating a technology and not thinking of how it could be used against us until it is too late. I'm curious to find out Vladimir's plan for the future of vampires and humanity.
