A review by vinwave
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon

“Rebellion was always my biggest ally, though sometimes I gated her. She looked like me and hurt like me, but she wouldn’t let me give up. And when fear took my reasons for fighting, rebellion gave them back.”
This books has been sitting on my book shelf for so long. I am so glad I picked it up as it made me feel some serious emotions.
Firstly, you can tell from the first page that this is a very well researched book. The world-building is truly genuine. It provides major insights on different religions and their beliefs and traditions. Secondly, the characters in this book have major personality development throughout the book.
The story is wonderfully crafted and the turns and events happening around makes you long for the characters and their happy ending. The fact that the book is based on events that actually transpired in our history makes it a very painful read but it does keep the readers on edge.
I personally love Angelo. He is a kind of character that makes you question everything. I loved to be in his head and view the events from his point of view.
Eva is just marvellous. Her courage, fearlessness, determination and rebellious nature makes the book more exciting.
Last but not least, this is a kind of historical fiction everyone should read.
