Kingdom Of Ash

by amyleighreads2 Comments on Kingdom Of Ash

IMG_2078I am beyond excited I finally have my hands on this book!! This has been one of my most highly anticipated books releases of the year. I binged all of the books earlier this year and I am so ready for this finale. I love how convoluted the storyline is and how all the characters intersected and weaved together over the course of the plot was wonderful. I just think the series has been highly entertaining to read, the magic system is nicely defined, the world is massive and expands in pretty much every book I’ve read so far and Aelin is just so fierce and powerful. I loved the Throne of Glass series and hopefully Kingdom of Ash lives up to my expectations.

Happy Reading📚

Shatter Me

IMG_2098I’ve heard bits and pieces about the series over the last year or so, especially when Restore Me came out, everyone was absolutely scrambling to pick it and read it. I honestly have no idea what the plot or the storyline is even about… I think its about a girl with some kind of powers and I’m pretty sure there is a romance in there as well from what I’ve heard. I don’t think I’ve seen anything negative about this book and I’ve never read anything by Tahereh Mafi as well so I want to give it a read and see if the hype is worth it!

Our Dark Duet Review

*Spoilers!!!*

y648That ending had me shook!

Oh my goodness this was fantastic. The continuation of the storyline was spectacular. The introduction of the new characters as well as the growth of the existing characters, it was all woven together wonderfully!

Our Dark Duet continues on 6 months after This Savage Song ended. Kate is now in Prosperity hunting and killing monsters and August is back in Verity taking up the role of commander of the FTF a role that became vacant after he reaped Leo’s soul. Kate has managed to integrate herself into an established group of people called the Wardens of Prosperity who monitor and track down monsters. Kate is in the middle of a mission when she comes across a new monster she has never seen before and she makes her priority to hunt it down and kill it, thus leading her back to the place she was running from, Verity.

August is definitely one of my favourite characters from this duology. I love that we see how he’s changed in the last 6 months he’s been at the forefront of the FTF and how that responsibility weighs on him. I love that internal struggle we witness throughout the plot of how he thinks he should be and act as a monster and discarding that human aspect of himself and how eventually he makes his way back to who he truly is.

Again I just think that Kate is such a badass. She has become so much more focused and driven in this book compared to the first. We see her passion to rid the world of these monsters and try to save her city that she loves so much. She was really the one to give August that reality check and had the balls to say ‘what happened to you’. I also like that she took responsibility for her actions and when Alice finally caught up with her she knew she had to be the one to kill her.

This book was a very fast paced, entertaining and interesting read. I like how not all the characters are safe by any means; I think that gave it a bit of an edge. There was an element of danger and uncertainty that is laced throughout the storyline and I felt that really drove the plot forward.

The ending kind of broke my heart. I sort of wanted Kate and August to have the fairytale ending I think they deserve after what they’ve been through. But also the fact that it wasn’t all wrapped up nicely with a shiny bow and a happy ending made it more endearing and real.

I’m still kind of left wanting more though…

⭐️4/5 stars, adrenaline rushing, tear-jerking finale!

The Darkest Minds Series

IMG_2071Another super hyped series that I haven’t read yet for absolutely no reason whatsoever. These books have been out for a few years now and this year they’ve been revived again because I think a movie and another book in the series has come out. I don’t really know a lot about this series and I don’t think I’ve read any other books by Alexandra Bracken so this should be an experience. I don’t think I’ve seen or heard any bad review for this series so that sounds promising! I’m kind of just going to get into it with no preconceived notions or thoughts and see what I think when I come out on the other side!

Happy Reading📚

Kind of hit a little bit of a speed bump in relation to my reading … haven’t really been in the mood or I’ve just been too tired but I have tried to push through and continue on in the Monsters of Verity duology with Our Dark Duet. I’m just a little over 150 pages so far and really enjoying the continuation of the storyline! I’m going to continue over the weekend and I’ll definitely be getting back to you with a review when I’m done!

Happy Reading📚
