![]() I really liked the romance between Ash and Kaisa. Nevertheless, there was a lot to like about Ash, so let me tell you about the good things: There was something about it that seemed a little off to me, a little strained I kept being jolted out of the story when I wanted to lose myself in it. The best thing I can come up with is that I failed to connect with the narrative voice. I finished the book a week ago, and I've been trying to figure out what it was that made it not quite work for me ever since. In any case, it really pains me to say that I didn't enjoy Ash nearly as much as I was expecting to. Perhaps these high expectations were part of the problem. I wanted to read it so badly that I made it one of the three new releases I was allowed to get under my book buying ban - and this in a year with plenty of new releases that I'm coveting. I had been dying to read Ash ever since I first heard of it earlier this year. The most noteworthy difference is that instead of falling in love with a prince, Ash falls for Kaisa, the king's huntress. Sounds familiar? Yes, Ash is a loose retelling of " Cinderella". None of them are particularly fond of Ash, and after some time her standing in the family becomes that of a servant. Aisling's - or Ash's - stepmother is called Lady Isobel, and she has two daughters of her own, Ana and Clara. ![]() ![]() Not long after Aisling's mother dies, her father marries again.
