Ashes of Aether by Holly Rose

5.0

I'm not going to lie, at the start, I wasn't feeling it. I felt like too many descriptions of places and people were thrown at me. It felt like the author really wanted us to see which world she created, as soon as possible. So it was a bit overwhelming. But then the story began..!
Pretty soon I was in it! I was living the story and I was living among the characters (Eliya was my favourite, sorry Reyna).

So the story is about Reyna, the daughter of the most powerful mage in Nolderan, and she's training to become a mage herself. She faces many obstacles in school but also in her private life especially considering who her father is. I mean, the pressure is on!

Like most teenage girls she falls in love with the wrong boy, in this case, the son of a necromancer. The trouble really begins when his father returns and vows to take revenge on those who wronged him, which happens to be Reyna's father.

Loss upon loss follows and Reyna vows to become the most powerful mage to ever exist, in hopes of keeping her loved ones safe.

Will she succeed? I'm not going to tell, you'll just have to read for yourself.
