Ash Princess and Lady Smoke by Laura SebastianĪ little recap, Ash Princess follows a girl named Thora who was being held captive by the man who had overthrown her kingdom and stolen her mothers throne. ![]() I loved Art and Heron and Erik and Soren (*swoon*), and I mostly liked Blaise but he cut into my Soren time so he bugged me. I was intrigued by Thora, but she kind of annoyed me… but when Thora became Theo I was way more on the edge of my comfy reading spot. It took me until at least 2/3 of the way through Ash Princess to be sucked into this world. ![]()
