An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet
4.0
On the whole, I really enjoyed this book. It's compelling, interesting, and pretty well-written. Two quibbles, however:
1. The Evil God Southward. This is not a good name for a bad guy. It's not cool, it's not evil, it's not snappy. Kudos for not inventing a lame evil bad-guy-name in an invented language, but still.
2. The ending: yes, I know, I complain about unhappy endings, but in what's basically a dystopian YA novel in which the world is being rent apart, is a happy ending with everything neatly tied up and everyone fine and happy realistic? No.
