Summary From Goodreads:

 

Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia's family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess--a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.

For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She's endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.

Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn't always won on the battlefield.

For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.

 

 

My Review:

Woo buddy, what a way to kick off the new year. I have had this book in my shelf for a long time and finally got around to reading it.

It took me a little bit to get into it, but once I did, I could not put it down. I've been on a fantasy book kick, and this was everything I needed to read. The backstabbing. The secret rebellion. It was great, not without some plot holes, but I loved it nonetheless

I'm curious to see what is going to happen with Theo, and how she's going to handle the things that have been thrown at her. 

It had a few plot holes, but it obviously didn't deter me from finishing/enjoying it.
