junisreading 's review for:
Lord of Silver Ashes
by Kellen Graves
[03/10/2022] I’ll write a proper review once I stop crying. Feels like I’ve been holding my breath since page one and now that is over somehow I’m holding my breath even more? What the fuck Kellen :’)
Okay, I think I can do this now.
Prince of the Sorrows entered my life in April and instantly became my most profound obsession and the specialest of special interests. The Rowan Blood universe is the air the I breathe and I couldn’t wait to read the sequel, hoping it would heal the wounds that fateful epilogue had caused. Oh boy, was I wrong.
Just as Prince of the Sorrows is the perfect introduction to a series, with charming characters and an intriguing plot that has you on a chokehold from the very beginning, Lord of Silver Ashes couldn’t be more perfect as a sequel. It delivers on delicious angsty longing, expertly crafted worldbuilding and unexpected twists to keep you on your toes. With amazing new character additions, even more drama for Saffron to try and solve by himself (smartest dumbest person ever) and with the prettiest prose to last for days, I think it’s safe to say Lord of Silver Ashes managed to outdo its predecessor, something I didn’t think was possible.
I used to think Prince of the Sorrows was a sad book and now I’m convinced it’s actually a comfort read. The amount of HURT/(no)comfort in LOSA and the incredible plot made this one of the most intense reading experiences I’ve ever had, it felt like I was holding my breath from the very first page until long after I finished reading. It was to give me the hardest book hangover of the season in the best of ways: I finished the book in two days and proceeded to spend the following week just thinking about what I just read, the nuances of each event and daydreaming about what volume 3 might bring next year. I can’t wait to see what Kellen has in store for the Rowan Blood universe and its characters, and I’m so grateful for the privilege of being part of this journey.
Thank you so much Kellen for this ARC, it destroyed my life <3 /pos
Might edit this after the book comes out with some spoilers, because I'll most definitely reread it and have another breakdown :') I love this series so much omg
