The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah
4.0
I really enjoyed TSDT, and was really excited to read this one. I thought the first book was great start, and really enjoyed the world building. That was a 3.5-4/5.
Overall, it delivered. I listened to both books on audio, and the narrators did a great job. The only downside for me was the third quarter of the book - things dragged quite a bit, and it felt like that section just needed to be pushed through. The action scenes were well described and tense, with my only complaint being the overuse of the “so-and-so waited for the blow to come but it didn’t because so-and-so showed up.” The last quarter was great, though, and it was worth it in the end. The ending leaves us in a great position for the final installment. Really interested to see how this trilogy finishes up.
