3.5

I'm only giving 3.5⭐️ but I still loved this book. It is basically a retelling of books 1 & 2 but from his POV and with a few new things thrown in. It was fast paced only because you have already basically read it. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a fun read. I always enjoying seeing the alternate POV to get a better understanding of characters which we got. Obsessed with this world and these characters and still loving the tandem read between both series!

From Blood and Ash is my favourite of this series, so getting to relive it through Hawke’s POV was such a delight! I loved getting to see his take on events and the feelings he had while going through it all. Especially my favourite scenes. Each of those felt like a little treat ❤️

I also appreciate how it was a bit of a breather. There’s so much that happens in this series CONSTANTLY so just getting to experience this walk down memory lane was much needed.
