A review by elenaturally
Ashes of Aether by Holly Rose
4.0
I really wanted to read something fast-paced and this book delivered!
I had never read a book including necromancy before, but I really liked it. While it was a bit more gruesome than normal magic tends to be, the scenes I imagined fell nothing short of spectacular!
Due to the books fast pace (especially compared to my previous read) I, at times, couldn't quite grasp which direction the story was going. I also felt like some of the side characters didn't have that much depth to them.
But even though it took me a while to start liking Eliya, her humor really did charm me.
I really enjoyed reading about the development of the main character (didn't like her that much at the very start) and her relationship with her father and her relationship with her love interest.
After the climax at the end, I expected the story to pretty much end, but instead it went into a whole new and exciting direction.
I'm looking forward to reading the sequel when it comes out!
