Über diesen Titel
Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.
A Maiden...
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.
A Duty...
The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.
A Kingdom...
Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

"Dreamy, twisty, steamy escapism. Take me back!" --New York Times bestseller Wendy Higgins
“Jennifer Armentrout has the power to control my emotions with every word she writes. From swooning to crying to racing through the pages to find out what happens next, I couldn't stop reading about Hawke and Poppy, and you won't be able to either.” --Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely
"Narrator Stina Nielsen enthralls with this sumptuous romance, which highlights her ability to thoroughly immerse listeners in its fantasy world.… Nielsen employs a wide range of inflections, from the warm, breathless tone of the heroine to the appealing accent of Hawke, the love interest, combining them in the sensual scenes they share." --AudioFile Magazine, An Earphones Award Winner
Einfach toll!

What the actual heck?
It’s a great story, don’t get me wrong, but it does have moments that do leave you confused simply because you did not see it coming.
The story is well-written and well performed by the reader from this audio book.
I think Poppy is a great character and I fully understand how she’s not exactly a fan of being the Maiden and all that comes with it. I love how her feisty character develops and how she navigates through the chaos that life throws at her, even though her inner monologues of her thoughts are sometimes a bit repetitive. But it doesn’t slow down the story.
Hawke is a great character. He‘s complex and witty and has his own agenda. He has a bit less of character development, but the more we get to know him, the more interesting he gets. He surprises with his actions and reactions.
Another rather important character is Victor, but I found him to be rather a bit dull. He‘s the cliche honor-bound guard that follows rules. His character gets a little spice by him taken on a father role for Poppy, taking her on nightly forbidden quests and training her. But other than that, there’s not much more.
The duke, the priestess, the lord and the duchess are characters that I fully loathed. They are quite horrible characters. It’s fantastically written and you side with Poppy against these three quite quickly.
There’s also Poppy’s best friend who’s a real sweetheart.
All in all it’s a good book with a lot of action, moments right in the feels and good twists.
What a wild ride.

The story is predictable and at points SO obvious. I could predict some plot points before the first Quarter of it was through.
