The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent
4.0
adventurous challenging medium-paced

I loved the overlapping storylines. I loved how Oraya's character grew in the sequel. She was in such a vulnerable position, yet she stood bravely and was remarkable. I wasn't okay with how vulnerable Raihn was shown initially, but I loved how it complimented the story in the end. 

The world building was decent enough with such interesting plots for future books. I am really looking forward to seeing how one particular character turns out. However, the Nightborn Duet is complete. The upcoming books will be a part of Crowns of Nyaxia storyline but not with Oraya and Raihn as their leading characters.

It wasn't an all-out dramatic ending I was hoping for, but I still liked the story.
