A Curse of Ash and Embers by Jo Spurrier

4.0

This is a great YA fantasy crossover, perfect for maybe around 13+ teens and older (it gets quite dark!). Jo Spurrier is a really confident writer, and from the first page you know you are in good hands as she weaves a completely new world around you and lays out the mystery of the plot. This is a tale of witches and coming-of-age, of a young girl escaping her past and finding herself, sometimes reluctantly, on a completely new path. There are some solid plot points later on the book that really upped the stakes in a very satisfying manner. Highly recommend for fantasy fans looking for a little bit of (dark) magic.
