An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet

4.0

this was weird and spooky and I liked it! Civil War era aesthetic in a post-apocalyptic America setting with a touch of Stranger Things. there's a war, but it's not about the war, it's about the people it touches and how people become legends and then become humans again. my favorite thing was that Hallie did not feel like the average YA Female Lead to me. she really had her own struggle to overcome and wasn't perfect and has to learn to let people in (her friends and family and neighbors not just her S.O.) and rely on them. and there is NO LOVE TRIANGLE!! I'm only detracting one star for predictable plot twists but I got really into this book and loved it.
