Ash Celebration at Steph Su Reads

Starting on Sept. 1 (yesterday) to Sept. 15 Steph Su is throwing a celebration in honor of Ash being released on Sept. 1.

She's giving away a copy of Ash by Malinda Lo as well as some other books (including Graceling and Fire both by Kristin Cashore. Honestly, all I want is Ash. To enter check it out here Ends Sept. 15, so hurry!

Isn't the cover just gorgeous?!

In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.

The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash’s capacity for love—and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.

Entrancing, empowering, and romantic, Ash is about the connection between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.

Does that not sound amazing and swoon-worthy? I think so!

Please, please tell Steph that Reading in Color sent you when you comment!
