Book Summary
In
a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.
Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of
strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy
discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is
trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the
dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but
that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels
toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her
sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to
the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or
later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but
ashes in between…
My Thoughts
The Beautiful
Ashes by Jeaniene Frost has a dark tone. The story consisted of the common theme
of a heroine—in this case Ivy—who was an integral part of the conflict and
initially she didn't know why. So the journey is not only a search for her
sister and the relic, it’s also a search for answers. It was difficult to
understand Adrian. He was protective of Ivy, but he’s so overcome by darkness
that he had difficulty imagining that he had power over his own life. I felt
that the beginning was okay and would have rated it as average. But there were
a couple of random scenes that seemed out of place and took away from my
overall enjoyment of the story. So although I finished the book, I would not
recommend it.
