Today's guest post comes to us from Kristin of My Bookish Ways. She has a great mini-review of Ash by Malinda Lo as well as a chance to win a copy!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh, how to describe this beautiful novel? Yes, it is a "retelling" of Cinderella, however, Malinda Lo took me into a world that I've never experienced with such feeling. Her prose is stunning, and she creates a melancholy that's just perfect for curling up with on a rainy day. We follow Ash as she experiences the utter grief of her father's death, as she is thrust into the hands of her vindictive and hateful stepmother, and as she meets the Faery Prince Sidhean, and the mysterious and enchanting Kaisa, the King's Huntress. Ultimately this is a novel of love and sacrifice, and as we journey through ancient forests, heavy with ancient and powerful magic, we are taught what it really means to follow your heart. This is a love story that shouldn't be missed! Keep an eye out for Ms. Lo's new novel, Huntress , coming in April!
