The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King (Crowns of Nyaxia Book 2)

Product Information

Vincent - ”I will not lie to you, little serpent. I was expecting to kill you that night. But what I was not expecting was to love you so devastatingly much.” Although gone, Vincent does not leave us or Oraya in book two. Personally my favorite character from book one after being the most interesting and compelling. Vincent’s story and past gets peeked into as Oraya struggles with her love and hatred for her father and his actions. In the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. She’s left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn. No one is more upset about this rating than I am, so please don't come for me as I have some explaining to do. Upon finishing a book, I immediately know if I love it or not. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the way I had hoped to about this story. Even though I really liked parts of The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King, my rating reflects my feelings about it as a whole. The things you��ve seen here have so tainted your image of me? I meant to give this place all my greatest achievements, my greatest ambitions. Instead, it became a monument to all my greatest mistakes.”

The romance was angstyyyy, slow burn-yyy and one that swept me off my feet. Raihn and Oraya are so so good together. The chemistry is off the charts. Like I was giggling, blushing, screaming and all that. The spice was HOT 🥵 During your commute: If you take public transportation or have a long commute, you may find it helpful to use that time to read. This series is the definition of an amazing slow burn, and the author managed to do it in both books, which made Rhain and Oraya’s romance even better. They are both layered and have complex emotions that create a tumultuous relationship, but one that is sooooooo good. There is no insta-love here, only raw and confused feelings, hurt, angst, and despite all that happened at the end of the first book, honesty. Rhain and Oraya both have to work hard to rebuild the trust that was shattered and seeing them tiptoe around each other while feeling such intense emotions and trying to stifle their urge to jump into bed together was a pure delight.

Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power.In the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood.

But to do so, she’ll need to harness a devastating ancient power, intertwined with her father’s greatest secrets.But with enemies closing in on all sides, nothing is as it seems. As she unravels her past and faces her future, Oraya finds herself forced to choose between the bloody reality of seizing power – and the devastating love that could be her downfall. The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King (Crowns of Nyaxia, #2) by Carissa Broadbent – eBook Details PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Ashes_and_the_Star-Cursed_King_-_Carissa_Broadbent.pdf, The_Ashes_and_the_Star-Cursed_King_-_Carissa_Broadbent.epub After Lilith and Vale’s novella, I expected to see them more but they barely had any scenes which was disappointing. (I also suggest that we get a novella like Six Scorched Roses about Vincent and Alana’s past. It would be beautiful and devastating.)

Vincent the king, who would kill my whole family in the name of power, who would slaughter an entire race, who would lie to me for nearly twenty years about my blood to protect his crown. there are approximately 1.010.300 words in the English Language, but I could never string enough words together to properly express how much I love Vincent the King of the Nightborn. 😭🙏 That was beautiful and painful. I can feel the love Carissa poured into this. I need to process and recover.Now let's talk about THE WING PLAY. It was enticing and alluring and Carissa wrote it in such a seductive tone. All I can say that it was just so titillating and sensual. Because that name was all those things, wasn't it? Raihn. My downfall and my most valuable supporter. My weakness and my strength. My worst enemy and the greatest love I had ever known."

Raihn also has to convince Oraya that he is on her side. That together they can create something worthy of their dreams, protecting humans and not only vampires.plot-wise, this was left a lil open-ended in many areas so i'm wondering how everything is going to tie together now. and the ending gave me shivers. i'm super excited to know so many things now!!

Raihn goddamn, this man istg. In my review of The Serpent and the Wings of Night I said that after that ending he better GROVEL AND BEG for Oraya and I got SERVED with my request. i highly highly recommend this entire duet, because the writing, the characters, the plot and VINCENT my love are what made this so different from other fantasies. 💗 The great and the not-so-great aside, I really do think this series is worth a read. The characters are easy to like and relate to, and the romance is fun. I am looking forward to the next duet, especially after reading the author's note and the hint about book 3. It was beautiful seeing them falling in love even after all the betrayals and heartbreaks they endured and the way they fit so well together in each other's life and how they both understand each other's flaws and imperfections and yet loved each other fiercely and all consuming. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shownIn the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. She's left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn. All Carissa Broadbent's books are just so stunning and if you haven't tried them yet, what are you waiting for?! 🫶🫶❤️❤️ Other than him being an entitled brat, there is nothing to say about him because Oraya is the actual villain here. Anyway. From the human afraid to leave her rooms in the first book, always wearing leather and armor, she will now prowl with confidence castle halls and city street’s in nothing else than common clothes. If vampires were ravenous for her blood before, seeing her as prey, now with the mark of heir, they fear and admire her. DEEMA, MY LOVE AND BESTIE! You made this experience truly unforgettable! I don't know what I would do without us sharing our every thought to this series. Thank you! <3
