A review by penkay
Empires of Shadow and Ash by Heather Marie Adkins
5.0
Generally, I don't talk about specific books in a set as I don't think it's conducive, but I am this time as I am not going to read this all at once. This review is, at this moment, just a review for one of the stories, East of the Sun. I had to come and write it while the words were fresh in my mind. I’ll update as I can. Every time I read a book/novella/story from Heather Marie Adkins, I am amazed at how well she writes! I have to warn you that this story does end on a cliffhanger, but I am so very eager to read more! I feel that there was a whole story just in the little I read, she is that good! Also, I admit I’m not a big fan of dystopian novels, but this one was excellent. 1st addition: just finished Divine Gift by Miranda Martin. For some reason, I thought I had read this author before, but I was wrong. I have to say this was a very intriguing book. As the one before, this did end on a cliffhanger. This book did lean towards more of a YA/NA feel if that is more your speed. This story was well-written and interesting, and I can't wait to read more about this world! I’m excited to read more in this set, and I can recommend this set highly just based on these stories alone! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed but I did get my own copy.
