I’ve put off reading From Blood and Ash for years because I was convinced I would be disappointed. It turns out that I’m only disappointed that it took me SO LONG to start this series 😂
I loved this book so much. Sure there were trope-y bits and sure sometimes the characters were frustrating and sure there was a “twist”(?) that I saw coming really early (having apparently side-stepped that potential spoiler entirely!) but it was, overall, really good! I’m excited to continue through the books in this world ❤️

Another solid amazing book from Hannah Whitten - an author who is fast becoming one of my faves, whose worlds I love to dawdle through and savour, even when they’re intense and dark and bitter.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Toxic relationship, and Violence
Moderate: Blood and Classism
The darker elements of the book are handled with respect and tact, but there is a lot of quite graphic body horror that turned even my steely nerves. I wouldn’t change it, just be aware.

Moderate: Bullying, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, and Toxic friendship
Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Medical trauma, and Suicide attempt
While some triggering topics are discussed in the book, there is a warning at the start of any chapter containing them, and they are discussed in a relevant and respectful way.

Magical libraries with magical books, and sword-wielding librarians?? I couldn’t have asked for more ❤️

I loved this - I wish I had just a tiny inkling of what was going on in Bastian’s head at any one point 😂 Lore is an excellent and believable heroine and Gabe is my fave grumpy guy atm.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

I really hate the way the narrator is doing Saphira’s voice so I’m going to DNF the audiobook and restart the ebook or paperback…
