maddieoftheorangetree 's review for:

The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent
3.0
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

Ahh!! That ending was just wonderful, the final chapter was gorgeous. 

A lot of this book was a complete blur for me, and at times I really did not enjoy it. The ending reminded me of all the good of this series, and all the love that radiates from its pages. I am so excited to continue this series with Mische’s story!!!

I would  recommend this duology as a kind of palette-cleanser, despite the heavier themes. The writing is just a smidge juvenile in a way that really works, considering the main characters are on the younger side.
