Good

I really liked Tessa in this book. She didn’t seem to be as naïve in this book. She knew that nobody was going to rescue her so she started planning on how to rescue herself and her family from the dungeon. When Tessa rescued herself and family, they made their way back into the mists and she was reunited with the missed King. I could see the slow burn of romance between these two characters and I was wondering when they were finally going to come together and either have sex or something like that. Tessa learned more about her father and herself in this book. The ending of this book was rather interesting, but it was good. I’ll definitely be reading the next book in this series.

Awesome!

An excellent Book with plenty of spice and action... can't wait to see what happens next... narrators are excellent

What a great adventure!

I love this book and looking forward to the next one ! So excited to see what comes next !

Great!

I’m excited about the next book in the series. Though the audiobook is not yet done. Love this story and so curious about what comes next

Very Good Read

Interesting world building and plot line. Got a bit tired of female lead's bias and stubbornness but her character does show growth. Both narrators were excellent but editors fell down on the job with repeated lines, and most annoying, increased speed on numerous chapters read by male narrator.

The plot thickens

I enjoyed this book between the growth of the main characters and their relationship but the twisted ending after everything they had gone through together. I know it would require me to read the second book but I'm not ready yet.

Good second book

This book was fast paced all the way through and had several different perspectives. Some pivotal things happen in the story and I’m excited for the next book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Of Ash and Embers is the second book in The Mist King series, a captivating and sizzling enemies-to-lovers dark fantasy romance."

The above does not do it justice ❤️

how did the author pull one over on me again?

*Spoilers for the previous book in the series* This is book two of The Mist King series. After the failed stabbing of King Oberon Tessa is stuck in the dungeons. The Mist King (Kalen) comes to her in her dreams after her stabbing of him also failed. The mists start to creep into King Oberon’s lands, causing panic. But Tessa is uncertain of why the Mist King is coming for her.

The Lovely: The plot and tension were excellent and steady all the way through the end. Again, the events toward the ending shocked me, even though I was waiting for the author to try to pull a twist. There was more character development for Tessa in this book, and I love her relationship with her love interest. Their relationship isn’t linear and they have their bumps, which makes this believable.

The Mundane: The world building improved in this book as we finally start to learn who was telling the truth (or are they). There is still a good amount of lore pieces going on and you don’t find out how they all fit together in this book.

The Dreadful: Nothing

Rating: 5/5 stars

Recommendation: Ok, how did the author pull one over on me again? Eek! I’m even mor in love with this series. The author’s storytelling is phenomenal and I’ve added her other Fae series to me #tbr. This book ended on a cliffhanger. Tropes included enemies to lovers (again), found family, and banter.
