The Ashfire King by Chelsea AbdullahMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My most anticipated read of the year did not disappoint.
Loved this as much as the first.
All the faves are back, but they're trapped in Djinn land and things are not going to go well for them.
This was super easy to fall back into - there's a wonderful recap at the start, cleverly disguised as one of the many stories told throughout the series, so getting caught up is easy and we can get straight back to the action.
There's further character development of our regulars which is quite rewarding, and there are some fun new faces which will hopefully have some more air time in the third book.
There's plenty of action, magic and storytelling, and the stakes are nice and high. It took a little bit for me to understand what was being asked of Loulie, but it was still easy enough to follow along.
There's a new threat in this story which was fun to follow, and there is a lot of grey in the characters so choosing sides is never easy.
There's also strong friendships and bonds which just make my heart melt. I feel so much for these characters.
Absolutely loved it - just as absorbing as the first with more magic, more action, and more fun.
Very keen for the last book in the series and already hoping there are plenty of spin offs!
With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC
