My biggest beef with this book was that the story REALLY lags and 1\2 of it becomes irrelevant. Honestly, I read to 35% ...and then skipped to 90% because it was moving so slow. I didn't miss ANYTHING! Skipping over half of the book and picking up at the end should have left me SO confused.....because, SOMETHING is supposed to happen in the middle! It didn't!

In all fairness, the overall story was pretty good. However, it has been done SO MANY TIMES in this genre that the author should have tried to make it a little different. The basic story is... princess of a conquered kingdom.... Childhood friend encourages her to start a rebellion...there's a prince involved...and she is conflicted over having feelings for multiple people! ...that's a oversimplified version, but know what I talking about, right? ...this storyline has been done SO MANY TIMES I can't help but compare it with others where it was executed better.

“I am a princess made of ashes, after all. I can’t help but fall apart”

Never again will I hear the name Theodosia and think of Hamilton. It will now bring up the smart, strong and determined Queen of Astrea. This book was a slower start for me but when I got slightly past the halfway mark I could not put it down!

Ash Princess tells the story of Theodosia who is the Princess of Astrea, or was the princess before her mother, the queen, was murdered before her eyes by the Kalovaxians. Since that moment she has grown up in her palace but under the Kalovaxians rule, specifically the Kaiser. The Kaiser has done everything in his power to beat the Princess of Astrea out of Theo and leave only Thora, the Ash Princess, in its wake. We meet Thora as a grown woman whose only thoughts are of survival in this world. She walks, talks and acts like the perfect subservent Kalovaxian lady. But when the Kaiser has her do an unforgivable act, we start to see the emergence of the woman she has kept buried for so long. With some help from an old friend and a couple new ones, Theo begins to plan to take back her kingdom. But nothing ever goes according to plan and Theo has some very tough choices to make between her kingdom and her heart.

Overall I really, really enjoyed this book! I really enjoyed the characters especially Theo and Blaise and even Soren. Although love triangles aren’t really my thing this one felt a bit different because you know who she should pick but you can’t help but love the other guy as well. The world building was beautiful but we didn’t get to see as much of the world as I would hope. But it seems like in book 2 we are going to get to explore a lot more! There were a couple of plots twists that I saw coming and then one that literally stopped me in my tracks (if you’ve read this book YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!). I literally stared at the page with my mouth hanging open not knowing what just hit me, probably a ton of bricks.

I do have to put out a warning that this book is pretty intense and has a lot of abuse, both physical and mental. I thought it really helped us see and understand how Theo became the woman we first meet and how through this abuse she becomes this stronger (or she hopes) woman. Overall I highly recommend this book!! Did I mention the TWO MAPS!! It was such an engaging read and I am dying for book 2!!! Seriously is it 2019 yet???
I could not stop reading this book the moment I picked it up. Laura Sebastian snares you on page 1, and the action and stakes keep building and building until it’s 4 am and you are awed and shocked and full of all the feelings, so glad to have stayed up all night reading. Theo is everything you want in a heroine determined, gritty, clever, ready to do whatever it takes to help not just herself and her friends but her people. It is incredible watching her journey as she first must believe in herself then rise to the occasion. And the surprises! Just when you think you know what might happen, the book throws in a new twist. The ending is a high-stakes, amazing stunner. And Blaise, Soren, Cress, Artemesia, Heron—these are characters you will fall in love with and want to read about again and again. I just wish I had the pleasure of reading Ash Princess for the first time all over again. I cannot wait for the second book in the series!

Ash Princess is perfect for fans of Red Queen and Ember in the Ashes, but in my opinion, it's far better. Read it, and it will become your new favorite.
