Review
“Scales of Ash and Smoke” is my new favorite fantasy YA!
This book was medium length for me (360 pages), and I loved every minute of it. The hardcover dust jacket has beautiful artwork (It looks like it’s lighting up!), and inside the map and pages are beautifully designed. This novel transported me to a new world right away. The descriptions of people, dragons, magic, and places were perfectly detailed. I love when a book has a map at the beginning as well as a pronunciation guide. It allows me to go back to the beginning for reference, instead of finding it at the end. The MC was very likeable, and you saw the growth of both Kaida and Prince Tarrin. The bad guy was very hateable indeed! There were twist and turns that I did not see coming, and it kept me engaged till the end. This story had almost everything for me and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Kaida in the next book!
