Kingdom of Ashes
Kingdom of Ashes | Elena May
1 post | 1 read | 12 to read
"Utterly alluring and remarkable!" ~ The Genre Minx, https://thegenreminx.com/ "Mixing the post-apocalyptic with the medieval, describing with vivid (and sometimes morbid) details a blood culture that creeped you out but also fascinated you, [Elena May] managed to capture your attention, to drive you insane with the desire to sink your teeth into this disturbingly delicious book that was not coloured in black and white, but in every shade of grey you can imagine." ~ BookNest, booknest.eu "It was hard to believe this was Elena May's first published novel. Her style was very appealing; I couldn't put the book down." ~ Magic of Books, https://maginibooks.wordpress.com/ ~*~ Myra never witnessed the Nightfall. She has only heard stories from the eldest among them; tales of the Old World and of the scientists who invented the WeatherWizard-a technological innovation that controls the weather. Unfortunately, the device also gave an ambitious vampire prince the means to cover the world in impenetrable clouds, allowing his armies to crawl out of their caves and conquer all. Vampires rule over the New World, breeding humans for food. After fifty years of guerrilla warfare, the Resistance is fading, its supplies dwindling. They must rally and succeed-and soon-or all hope of restoring human civilization will be lost. When Myra goes on a desperate mission to help the Resistance, she ends up a captive in the vampires' palace. With time running out, she must find a way to stop Prince Vladimir, and every wrong step leads to the death of innocents. Her battle abilities prove useless, but Myra discovers she has another skill that can give her an edge over her captors. Now, Myra must defeat the vampire leader at a power game he has been playing for almost two millennia.

Whew. This was…a mess. I‘m assuming this is self-published. There are some really cool ideas: vampires, humanity, art, post-apocalypse…but this book really, really REALLY needs an editor. If it weren‘t for #lmpbc, I would have stopped reading before half way. Until there‘s an editor that can clean this up, I say pass.

LitStephanie Oh no! At least we can all make snide comments in the margins. 😜 When do we mail our books? 3y
Roary47 Ugh oh. I need to get to mine. Because of the mail delays I would say mail it as soon as you can. I‘m going to try to finish it this week. @LitStephanie 3y
LitStephanie @Roary47 I am going to read mine this weekend. How do we know which person to mail to? 3y
Lauranahe I was going to go in the order from the email. Since I‘m on the bottom, I‘d send to @Littlewolf1 3y
Roary47 Yes, then @littlewolf will send to @LitStephanie then to me the. I send to @Lauranahe 3y
