Heir of Ashes by Jina S. Bazzar

4.0

How can a monster tell if he’s a monster if he’s never known anything else?
Heir of Ashes is a urban YA fantasy by Jina S. Bazzar. I got this book in exchange of an honest review via THE book ROBIN HOODS. Check out their site for more exciting upcoming releases 😀

Oh Boy!!

Lets just say… “I LOVED this book!!”

Reasons:-

– It was an amazing page turner.

There won’t be a chapter where you won’t feel something. Let it be anger, frustration or pure sadness. There is so much happening all the moment! The suspense was breath taking! The writing style makes you feel like, you too are stuck, and looking for a way to escape with Roxanne.

– Great character build ups.

I loved the world Jina created. The story is full of diverse characters. I loved the way they matured and a lot of things got meaning as the story proceeded . How at the beginning you will get annoyed at Roxanne at times, but at the end you will learn to love her. How a lot of things becomes clear with time. I loved Fizzy 😉

– Great Female Lead

As I told you earlier, you will learn to love Roxanne. Of course she too has flaws. But unlike maximum of the YA female leads, she is not insecure about her looks, she knows she is pretty. She did not wait for her prince charming to show up and save the day. She plots her own escape. She makes her own rules and abides by it. I loved how despite of everything she did not loose herself, those problems only seemed to make her stronger, stubborner and wiser. I just couldn’t get enough of her!

– OMG Plot Twists

In more than I could count on places it made me think, OMFG!! What just happened!!! There are countless twists and turns to keep the readers engaged. The badboy scene, veges scene, several PSS attack scenes. Though there were several places which made me spit my coffee out, but my personal favorite is the lowland scene ❤ Oh!! And I love FIZZY ( masssterrr 😛 )

– It have a very small but enough of a Prequel

It has just enough of a filler sized prequel. There are a lot of question/confusions could arise while reading “The Heir of Ashes”, like who is Roxanne, why her own people hate her etc etc. If you read this prequel “The Curse”, you will understand everything. “The Curse” can be read before or after “Heir of Ashes”. Its totally up to you. If you want to keep the suspense to the maximum, you can read “The Curse” after. Or if you like to know and understand your characters better like me, you can read it before reading “HoA”. Any way you read it, its just a small book (approx 94 pages) with max impact.

You have already read my verdict! I LOVED THIS BOOK!!

A huge burning 4.5 stars!!!!

Can’t wait for the next book!!! (Its a TRILOGY)
