I cannot even begin to explain how much I love this book! I have eaten the series up in two days because of how great the story is.
Spoilers to come…
Faythe is a kickass protagonist. Everything about her is so real — her worries, guilt, protectiveness of her friends…she is relatable in a way I often don’t find in fantasy books. She is written so well!! Add on all the other characters, the book has clear diversity of characters that create a seamless plot.
I feel like I’m rooting for Maverick and Z in book 5, even though Maverick makes some sketchy choices.
REUBEN?! Come back to us my sweet boy!!
Literally cannot wait for the next installment.

“Until the end of days, Reylan Arrowood.”
“Maybe even longer, Faythe Ashfyre.”
A Throne from the Ashes is the third installment in the An Heir Comes to Rise series. This review won't be long but I don't know if it's me or the direction of the story, I'm losing my interest in it.
It could also be the new POV as I'm not invested in Zaiana's chapters at all. I couldn't connect with her. And after the second book I'm not that invested in Nik either.
Maybe it's me and not the book.
But I will say I loved how Faythe and Reylan's relationship developed throughout this book, the slowburn was toe-curling and they are so wholesome. We even got spice!
The author did say going forward—this series will be more New Adult.
This series made me reminisce a lot about Throne of Glass but it did not win me over even though TOG was multi-POV. I don't know if this is where I stop and say good bye to it even though I really want to know what happens next with Faythe and Reylan.
It could be a "me" problem but we shall see.

Was this a crossover episode between ACOTAR and TOG? Yes. Was it a good one? No.
What the fuck is Reuben’s deal? I understand that he is controlled by Marvellas but his presence in the book is so dumb and makes absolutely no sense. It could’ve been such an interesting subplot but instead it makes my eye twitch whenever I see his name. Not to mention Faythe’s stupidity in trusting him even though she REMEMBERS not telling him about the Isles. And Reylan & Co (aka The Inner Circle) agreeing to take him on a suicide mission? Ridiculous. Stupid. Pointless.
Three books and I still don’t get the concept of the temple ruins. Just call them Wyrdkeys and call it a day ma’am. On that note, I know Faythe IS stupid but how did she not realise earlier which ruin Zaiana had? It’s not a rocket science since there are only three of them so??
Oh, and now the next book we’ll getting is a Nik and Tauria book? What in the Tower of Dawn is this?
I liked Maverick though. He seems like the only character with at least a resemblance of any personality.
Flying on a Phoenix was funny too.

The story keeps getting better
If you were considering giving up the series after the first book (as I was) don’t! This book was a definite turning point that makes it all worth it and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

I have to say that the first 2 books were promising and I truly didn’t see anything too similar to another popular series. I thought that the series could actually stand on its own.
Until I read this book. The similarities are just too many to ignore in this book. I wish the author put more effort into developing her characters and their stories without feeling the need to copy whole character arcs from other authors.
