My original note (at the start of the book) on him was “Blaise annoys the snot out of me. CharactersĪlright, let’s talk about Blaise. I grew so attached to the characters through the writing, and I was hanging on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book.Įmber Queen is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it for the brilliant writing alone.
ASH AND EMBER REVIEW SERIES
The writing across this whole series is the thing that stands out the most.

I really enjoyed reading this book, even though it gave me anxiety because I wanted my favourites to live. Although Ember Queen does put a spin on the traditional trope by using some creative magic and planning. I’m tired of the “oh no we’re at war and people are dying because of me” trope. There’s nothing wrong with it, just that I am a bit tired of repetitive YA fantasy. It’s very like Red Queen and Snow Like Ashes. Once again I wasn’t exactly blown away by the plot. StoryĪs I started looking through my notes before writing this review, I came across a very scathing note about Blaise and oh boy was I right. I received a review copy from PanMacmillan SA. Theo must learn to embrace her own power if she has any hope of standing against the girl she once called her heart’s sister. The Kaiserin’s strange power is growing stronger, and with Prinz Søren as her hostage, there is more at stake than ever. Imbued with magic no one understands, the Kaiserin is determined to burn down anyone and everything in her way. Now free, with a misfit army of rebels to back her, Theo must liberate her enslaved people and face a terrifying new enemy: the new Kaiserin. And if she learned nothing else from her mother, she learned that a Queen never cowers. As the rightful heir to the Astrean crown, it runs in her veins. But though she wore a crown of ashes, there is a fire in Theo’s blood. Renamed the Ash Princess, she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. Goodreads Description: Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. I hope you’re all doing well this week! I finally wrap up the Ash Princess series with an Ember Queen book review! This trilogy was amazing and I feel good about finishing it.
