At the end of this book I was yelling out: OH MY..EFFEN GEE WHY DID IT END THIS WAY WHY WHY WHY? Because it was EXCELLENT! AND I STILL CAN’T GET OVER IT. Finally, I thought to myself, as I closed this book, a post apocalyptic plot that’s more realistic with no sugar coating and it’s all about sur...
Why is the book even called Ashes? Does anyone know? When I read a book I always try to relate the title to the story and when I can't it bugs the shit out of me. The only thing I can think of is it refers to the ashes Alex carries around of her parents. She is suppose to be letting go of their ashe...
There are a lot of things I really liked about this book. The overall craft of character and setting is quite good. There are scenes toward the beginning of this book that will stick with me for years. Truly vivid stuff, and damn creepy too. And the characters are round and engaging. The mix of wild...
This is an apocalypse/dystopian YA. There are certainly no lack of these running around the world right now, but this is a pretty good one. It has a lot of action, sometimes there is so much action that it is difficult to follow. The author really likes ending chapters with cliff-hangers and forecas...
*Somewhat spoilery. But I really think you'll be okay if you haven't read the book yet* Never have I ever been as frustrated about a book than Ashes. So much so that I really don't know what rating to give it. Ugh. Firstly, we have to talk about the first half. Because the first half of the book...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-Sentence Summary: Two books in one (let's call them Before Rule, and After Rule), this book alternates between gripping action scenes and dull internal monologues, although thankfully the former are more common than the latter. A re-...
When I first started reading this book, i thought it was great. I found the idea behind the book really good, i read the first half eagerly in just a few hours. Unfortunately after a while I felt like it kind of dragged on, a lot of words but nothing really happening. A lot of gore, but no real stor...

This is my second read of Ashes, which I decided to do after finding out the third one was out. I hadn't yet read the second, to be honest I kind of just read Ashes, moved onto other books and forgot about it, giving it three stars. Maybe it was the zombie thing.But after watching three and a bit se...
I really love this series in a way that I don't wholly and unreservedly love most books. I loved it at first because of its heroine, Alex, who is (that dreaded phrase) a "strong female character". And she is, but she's more than that - she's a whole person, one who even in hopeless circumstances r...
