Ashes to Ashes Book Review




Ashes to Ashes (The Scribing of Ishitar)

by Carrie Shepherd

Exiled from the Sixty Realms at the end of the Second Revolution, Iykva, one of the demons sent to propagate a new mortal race, longs for equality between his people and those of the exiled angels. Believing the key to this equality lies within the blood of his enemy, he strikes war on the first born of the race of the elves. 

Caught up in his parents' game to claim the ultimate power, Ishitar dismisses this mortal war as unimportant to his strategy of placing his own pawn upon his father's throne. 



Will the cost that he eventually pays for his ignorance be worth what little advantage he has gained on the kings' board?

***MY HONEST REVIEW ASHES TO ASHES***

Iykva is a demon desiring to start a war with the elf populace.  Using his vampires, he destroys the Doxie village, killing all but the young. Thus causing Prince Iladrul to come after them.


This was a very confusing read. There were so many different breeds, such as angels, demons, vampires, elves, pixies, fairies, dragons, and so forth. The angels and demons had many names and titles, and to make it more confusing, they were sometimes a male, and then later a female, and possibly back to a male. I’m so glad that I stuck with it though, because I enjoyed the story very much once I got into it. I also didn’t know that this was the second book of the series. I think it would have been less confusing if I had read the first one before this one.
