The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent, Carissa Broadbent
3.0
3.5/5… I wish I could say that this series gave me the same feeling as ACOTAR like everyone on tiktok said it would but I just didn’t feel it.
Oraya and Raihn’s love was cute and I liked the little enemies to lovers back to enemies then back to lovers, give it a nice little twist.
I can’t move past that fact that both of them were constantly on the brink of death every single time they fought. I feel like anytime they went into battle I knew one of them was going to be practically dying.
There wasn’t an extensive amount of world building which I guess is okay but it made it hard to visualize the places they were going unless I looked at the map.
Overall, it’s a good fantasy book that you can throw yourself into but it’s not ground breaking.
