Review: Ash Princess

Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! What a page-turner!

Ash Princess is about a girl named Theodosia, a princess whose kingdom gets conquered. Instead of dying, she's kept as a prisoner for years. This book is about her trying to become free.

This was sort of a generic YA fantasy book, but darker. There was a lot of whippings that went into detail, so stay away if that makes you queasy.

The characters weren't all lovable, and I think that makes the story great. You're not supposed to love every character. Some are despicable. Some I want to love, but hate. Some I want to hate, but love. A perfect mixture, to be honest. There is a bit of a love triangle, but it's not the main subject of the book - thank goodness. It also leans a lot towards one boy instead of torn between two most of the time. That makes it a bit more bearable.

The writing was very well done. It wasn't jaw-dropping, but it definitely kept my attention and there are some quotes I would have loved to put in here (but I can't because it's an ARC :( )

Definitely read this if you like YA fantasies!
