I finished this in two sittings - I feel like I sped through it! The conversational tone of the book made it very easy to read but I know it also helped me take for granted the unreliable nature of the narrator. Logically, I guess I knew that content moderators would see the absolute worst shit day in day out, but it’s just never really hit me like that.

I need to scream incoherently for a little bit while I bask in the perfection of the last 10 chapters. The growth!! The sass!! The drama!!

I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY OMG. I know they’re terrible. I know they make each other worse. Stop Being Mean To Each Other!!!
I love it, I’m stoked there are (almost certainly?) gonna be more in the series, I’m looking forward to the emotional torment with dread.

I loved this book. It’s the first V E Schwab I’ve read, despite not being the first I’ve owned and from the very beginning I was head over heels for the prose style.
There were a few points where I tried to guess what the twist was, what dramatic thing would tear Henry and Addie apart. I didn’t manage to guess before it happened.
The way it was told, flicking between past and present, captured my attention and though I finished it fairly quickly (for me, atm) I feel like I could have savoured this book for months.

I’ve put off reading From Blood and Ash for years because I was convinced I would be disappointed. It turns out that I’m only disappointed that it took me SO LONG to start this series 😂
I loved this book so much. Sure there were trope-y bits and sure sometimes the characters were frustrating and sure there was a “twist”(?) that I saw coming really early (having apparently side-stepped that potential spoiler entirely!) but it was, overall, really good! I’m excited to continue through the books in this world ❤️

Another solid amazing book from Hannah Whitten - an author who is fast becoming one of my faves, whose worlds I love to dawdle through and savour, even when they’re intense and dark and bitter.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Toxic relationship, and Violence
Moderate: Blood and Classism
The darker elements of the book are handled with respect and tact, but there is a lot of quite graphic body horror that turned even my steely nerves. I wouldn’t change it, just be aware.
