I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

This one hit just right. It took a little while for me to get into it, maybe 30%, but once the story truly starting taking shape, I was so hooked.

I’m not going to lie, I haven’t read the authors other series, and didn’t find out that this was a sequel series until writing this review. It stands very well on its own, which is remarkable. It’s fast paced, packed with action and well-built twists.

The characters carry this; they’re such strong unique characters; I loved Quill the most; honestly; a breath of fresh air of a male character. Sirsha is phenomenal, she’s strong-willed, brave, funny and a perfect character to root for.
And Aiz… well, I won’t spoil anything; but what Aiz does for this story strengthens it so, so very much.

Overall… I think I may have to try to read An Ember in the Ashes; if it’s half as good as Heir was.
