While a good ending to an excellent story, Kingdom of Ash did not need to be 900+ pages. I can honestly say that 90% of the book is filler that could have easily been condensed into much less. Although all of our favourites are reunited, I don’t believe we needed the perspectives of everyone.
Graphic: Death, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Kidnapping, Medical content, Murder, Torture, Violence, and War
Moderate: Abandonment, Sexual content, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Pregnancy
