I got it from my book club Secret Santa and was really intrigued by it despite it not being on my radar really. I like the idea of the sisterly relationship and subtle fantasy elements. I hope I get a chance to read it soon.<br />Cassi @ <a href="http://mythoughtsliterally.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Thoughts Literally</a>My Thoughts....

Which is why I am looking forward to an Inheritance in the Ashes. I actually have it, so it's just a matter of time before I dive in and read it. <br /><br />My recent haul post: http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/2016/01/my-hoarding-catastrophe-it-wasnt-me.htmlOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-19958616330360533502016-01-19T02:12:30.261+01:002016-01-19T02:12:30.261+01:00Thanks for letting me know that about An Inheritan...Thanks for letting me know that about An Inheritance of Ashes! I will definitely push forward if I feel that slowness. That usually happens to me with fantasy novels anyway, so maybe it won't be too bad. <br /><br />I'm sorry Need wasn't a winner for you.
