There aren't many books that I can review where I can't mention some part of the writing or the story that id change, even if just a little bit. Until I read The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King. The writing sucked me in from book 1 and kept me engaged until the very last page of this book. Oraya and Raihn absolutely perfect. The way Carissa sucked me into the story with epic battles, intimate moments, and heartbreaking memories are just a few of the many reasons I loved this book. I can't wait to continue with the full Crowns of Nyaxia series and see where this world takes us next!
