The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King

3.75 stars

Weirdly enough, my favourite part of the book was actually the warfare/political storyline. The romance was okay and had some good moments, but a lot of their dynamics grated on my nerves at times. Especially the constant repetition of phrases from the first book (I didn't count but I think Raihn might have said “there she is” at least 20 times or more). I did like how the story wrapped up though. I was afraid the ending would let me down but thankfully that wasn't the case.

It seems the next book in the series is gonna focus on Mishe and the House of Shadow so I'll be looking forward to that one.
