ARC Review - Ash & Feather by S. M. Gaither

Thank you so much S. M. Gaither for sending me this ARC!

Title: Ash & Feather
Author: S. M. Gaither
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: Flame & Sparrow #2
Pages: 580

Synopsis:

From the Ashes, a Goddess Must Rise…

After proving herself through a series of harrowing trials, Karys has found a home among the gods, alongside the Marr of Fire. Her new divine family and magic have allowed her to ascend from the rebellious, dangerous life she once led—yet the ghosts of past mistakes and betrayals linger. 

Her once sworn enemy, Dravyn, understands the pain of lingering ghosts better than most. Haunted by the memories of the family he lost—and by the lives he took in retribution—the God of Fire now has one plan: Protecting the ones he has left at whatever the cost.

But the shadow of war is spreading across the realms. A war that will force both Karys and Dravyn to confront past demons. And when those demons collide, the resulting fires might burn everything to ash…

Forcing something new to rise if they want any hope of a future.


Review & thoughts:

Ash & Feather is the second book in a Fantasy Romance duology and while I loved the first book this one simply swept me away, I just finished reading and still have tears in my eyes at how perfect this ending was and I don’t want to say goodbye to Karys and Dravyn, I love their story and can’t wait for this author’s next books. 

Ash & Feather begins right where Flame & Sparrow ended and I was immediately drawn again into this fascinating world the author created. The world building and magic system were so unique and interesting and I’m so happy we got to explore more of it. The plot was perfectly paced with so much action because the stakes were even higher here but also all the amazing scenes between my favorite characters and of course Karys and Dravyn. It was incredible to see how much Karys has grown from the beginning of her story and how much she continued to grow in this book, she became truly confident and badass and I loved her as the FMC. Dravyn… I love him so much, he is the perfect MMC with how much he loved and supported Karys, their relationship was so beautiful and I loved all their scenes together, they became a true power couple here and I already miss them and hope we will get to see them again soon, they are one of my favorite bookish couples. 

Ash & Feather is the perfect conclusion to this incredible duology, I loved every single page and already know I will reread Karys and Dravyn’s story many times because I can’t say goodbye to these two. I definitely recommend this duology to everyone and can’t wait for more books from S. M. Gaither.
