It tells the stories of several characters that make an appearance in Kingdom of Ash. One suggestion I would make is to read “ The Assassin’s Blade” prior to Kingdom of Ash. There are several references to couples sleeping together but they don’t go into details. I definitely give this one 5 stars and I would say it’s fine for teens. You morn those that were lost, along with the other characters, and you learn how each one moves on with their life but it doesn’t just go on and on. Sarah J Maas did a good job of wrapping up each character. I hate in books, when the characters complete the main plot, the book ends, leaving the reader to wonder what happens next? How do the characters move on with their lives? I also hate when stories go on too long and you keep thinking you’re at the end but then you turn the page and there’s another chapter and another chapter and another chapter…. The ending was another part that I really enjoyed. I love how all of the stories merged back together but not at the same time or in the ways that I expected. The sections about Rowan & Aelin grabbed me and when the book would switch back to the other characters I wanted to just skip ahead to find out what happened to Aelin.Įventually, though, all the stories hooked me and I had a hard time putting the book down. So there were parts of the story, during the first half (Aedion’s story mainly), that I had a harder time really getting in to. I don’t mind the action of war but reading strategy isn’t really my thing. I can’t wait to really dig into this book but at almost 1000 pages, it’s going to take me a little bit. Knowing how much I have enjoyed the past 6 books in the Throne of Glass series, I expect that I will also fall in love with Kingdom of Ash. It’s all good, though, the further I get into this book, the more I’m remembering and the more I’m being sucked right back into the story that I’ve loved so much. It’s only been 6 months since I was in that world but there are so many characters and Tower of Dawn ended with everyone splitting up and going different directions, that I feel like I need a reference or recap section that I can use to remind myself what’s going on. Then, once I’m finished with the book, I’ll add my full reviewįirst Impressions: I finished reading “Tower of Dawn” in June and immediately pre-ordered Kingdom of Ash.

After I’ve read the first few chapters, I will take a minute to write up what my initial thoughts are and how I think this book is going to turn out. I want to include these initial thoughts by including a “First Impressions” section in my reviews.

Often times I start a book and I think that it is going to be an okay book, or maybe it has a strong beginning and I think it’s going to be an amazing book but by the end I find that my opinion has completely changed.
