Kingdom of Shadows and Dust by Sherry D Ficklin brings us into a world of political maneuvering, betrayals, and love. Ava, the daughter of the King, wants nothing more than to fight along her father's armies. Her father and others want her to behave as a proper Princess and follow their traditions. Ava decides to sneak out and fight. Soon reality hits that war is horrible. Ava broken meets two different men while recovering and along the way discovers that maybe her righteousness is not deserved. 

 

Forewarning I read this three months ago so everything is a little hazy. Things I liked were… an interesting world and character growth. In all honesty I am having a hard time remembering this book. It took me 30 minutes after the synopsis to remember it. I do not recall liking or disliking this book really. I disliked the instant love connection. 

 

3 Stars because overall I do not think this was a bad read but it is forgettable. Thank you to NetGalley, Independent Book Publishers Association and Sherry D Ficklin for a free copy. This was an honest review.
