Emma's Reviews > It Began With Ashes

It Began with Ashes was a great read the story and characters were both interesting. I liked the characters relationships, my favorite scenes were

1. when Draven & McGowan were in the smithy when the Vikir attacked..

McGowan slammed the door shut as the first raider reached the entryway, and the two Blacksmiths backed away into the workshop.
“That’s bad for business that,” Draven said.
“What is?”
“Slamming the door in the customer’s face.”

2. when Ivebian & Shrike were in the stables when the Vikir attacked..

With a splintering of wood, a hammer smashed through the door panel, and the noise of the Vikir came louder through the hole.
“Gotta give it to ‘em, at least they've learnt how to knock first,” Ivebian said.
“It’s only polite to answer.” Shrike let loose the string and the arrow streaked out the crack. A howl of pain answered his shot.

This story was full of action as well as humor which was easily to follow and i was quickly drawn in. It was also interesting to how the children are in the story and to see things from thier point of view.

Ivebian is possibly my favorite character....

...I look forward to the next installment.
