My thoughts
I devoured the first book, The Road of Bones and this one was even better. Such a good series this is.
This book continues with Silla and Rey and their story. You also meet Saga who is Silla's sister.
Saga has been basically held captive since the murder of her parents and supposedly sister. She's afraid of going outside. She does what she is told and does not cause trouble. Until she does. When she does she does it right. Along with her friend Rurik some secrets are uncovered. But there is really not a lot Saga can do. She's so alone.
Silla is learning a lot about her power. Her Galdra it is called. Silla is a fairly powerful woman. She doesn't have many memories of her parents as she was so young when they were murdered. But her sister... She remembers Saga. She must find Saga.
This book is filled with a lot of action. It has a lot of things to keep you cringing and gasping. But together Silla and Rey can withstand almost anything. Almost...
What is to become of Saga. Silla. With so much evil and so many unanswered questions will they ever find their way to each other. And if they do will they yield the strong bond that I expect.
If you like a good action, love story, fantasy, filled with monsters and gore, grab this series. It's great. Both as an audio and reading along. I loved it.
Thank you #NetGalley, #RandomHousepublishing #Ballantine/DelacortePress, for this ARC. This is my true thoughts about this book.
Five big stars.
About
Return to the Kingdom of Íseldur, where enemies become lovers and dark secrets hide around each corner, the second novel in the Ashen series.
In the aftermath of a harrowing journey, Silla Nordvig’s dreams of a simple life have been shattered. Beaten, betrayed, and reeling from the revelation of her true name, she flees Kopa with Reynir Galtung, ruthless leader of the Bloodaxe Crew. But when they're forced into hiding together, Silla soon discovers that Rey has been keeping secrets of his own.
Stuck in a shield-home with the murderous man she thought she knew, Silla forms a new master the magic flowing through her veins to save her sister. But before she can do that, Silla must face her most formidable opponent yet—her own inner demons.
Saga Volsik has nothing to lose. They’ve murdered her family. Stolen her throne. And now they expect her to marry their son, but not if she can dismantle Queen Signe’s plans first. The only problem? The handsome Zagadkian dignitary who knows far too many of her secrets.
Silla and Saga will need to find the strength to step into their destiny and stop chaos from sweeping across the land. Meanwhile, dark threads continue to weave themselves through Íseldur as magic long thought dead begins to wake.
