Review Quotes

"I devoured every sentence, every chapter. I was hooked from the beginning; I read it in less than 24hours. I didn't want it to end, I was looking at the percentage and I was feeling sad to reach the last chapters... That was I much I loved Wounds of Ash."

-Goodreads Reviewer

"Wonderful and amazing start for a fantasy romance series!!! There was trauma. There was pain. There was grief. There was magic. There was love and sweetness!!! This book had them all!!!! And at the bottom of it all the message that bravery comes with accepting one's scar and realising that the abuse doesn't define us!!!!"
