Lyric is back, and once again, she’s on an incredible journey toward her destiny. After spending a year in the human realm, studying and recovering from the losses and all that happened in the Maison realm, it’s time for her to go back. To learn more and unlock more of what’s inside her. Once there, she starts out in the Obscurité Court, Eastons home, making new friends who are helping her train. When she gets “summoned” by water, Lyric and her new crew set out on another journey. There are more trials and tribulations, more emotional moments. And more to come. I look forward to more of Lyric and her journey
OMG talk about a page turner! YES!! And it’s steamy too! You’re going to love it!
Lyric’s journey continues in From Flame and Ash, where the story picks up a year after the ending of From Breath and Ruin and dives right into this new adventure for Lyric back to the Maison realm. Lyric is one strong, tough person for jumping right into this journey without knowing what will come or her and her friends. There is action and adventure and many different Wielders that make this story fly by as you read. I can’t wait to read the next book to find out what happens next with Lyric and everyone else.
Literally no one does it like Carry Ann Ryan. Her writing is compelling, whimsical and gorgeous. Highly recommend this book!
From Flame and Ash is the second in a high powered epic fantasy from Carrie Ann Ryan. This story will beat you up emotionally and physically. I’m exhausted and anxiously awaiting the next installment.
This is book two of Lyric’s story and you should read book one, From Breath And Ruin first. As the storyline picks up, you are once again pulled into this complex world. I find it very easy to like Lyric and feel for her. The situation she finds herself in, her uncertainty, her struggles and the vast amount of emotions she is bombarded with, cause you to sympathize with her because it is simple to imagine yourself in her shoes. This series feature a well developed and engaging world. The characters are complex and likeable. The storyline offers a enticing combination of drama, magic, myth, suspense, intensity, action and deep emotions. In short, I thought this was an excellent book and wonderful addition to this addictive series.
5+ Stars
From Flame and Ash has officially made my top ten list of 2019 Young Adult books. Fantasy, angst, suspense, thrills…it has it all. From the first page, I was drawn into a world so captivating, I bumped into a few things because I was walking and reading at the same time. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this series.
Dark and Light have been at war for so long, most have forgotten why they were split, to begin with. Lyric is the girl who is destined to save them all. She brings with her friends she has forged on both sides of the war. Including a love triangle in the making that kept me guessing throughout the book. Elemental battles rage across the pages. Some friendships are made to last, while others crumble around Lyric leaving her feeling betrayed by her magic.
The writing is so clear and descriptive my mind immediately began building the world Carrie Ann Ryan had created. The ease of conversations between the characters and flow from one setting to another was so smooth, it felt like I was there.
This is the second book in the series. While you might not need to read book one to follow the storyline of book two, I recommend starting at the beginning to build a better understanding of the characters and where they come from. Book one and two have been added to my personal library. I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, From Spirit and Binding.
An action packed thrill ride with all the “feels”…
From Flame and Ash takes Lyric on an arduous journey through the Spirit and Lumière Kingdoms. She is really just a babe in this world, most of her new friends are at least two hundred years old. As the Spirit Priestess so much is expected of her, but all she is given as a guide are feelings, nightmares, and a crazy old guy.
As Lyric evolves or comes into her powers we are given a front seat into her mindset and I think she longs to belong to this realm. She is also searching for her soulmate, but knows that is not the important part of her trip right now.
This story is all enveloping, this “world “ brought vividly to life. The action keeps coming, the angst is palpable, heartbreaking yet hopeful I couldn’t put it down till the cliffhanger end. Can’t wait for From Spirit and Binding!
Excellent series
Lyric Rhodes and Easton grabbed my heart and Squeezed
intense emotional broken beautiful
had me screaming at the end
ready for more
It took me a long time to get back into this story, but I couldn’t put the book down. Lyric is the spirit priestess but she must unlock her remaining elements to become the full priestess, she has two of the five but she must go back to the maison realm!
The saga continues in book 2 of this page turning story. Lyric has lost so much yet gain abilities she never knew she possessed. As we learn more about this realm there are so many riddles yet to be solved. Easton will protect Lyric and Rhodes and Rosemund also need her. As more chaos ensues Lyric loses more people she cares for and continues to question her role in this endeavor to heal this new normal for her. Can’t wait for the next installment in the saga.
If I could scream and release all the elements and make the next book come I would. This story is all about the journey of finally excepting the truth of what she is or may be. But at what cost and how much is Lyric willing to lose for a world she’s only beginning to understand. With her feeling everyone is one step ahead yet so far behind cause how do you prepare for inevitable?
I am struggling to find all the right words to describe how absolutely amazing this story is. I could not stop reading. If I could just keep saying OMG, I would. Talk about wanting more of this series! This quest to unlock all of Lyric’s elements has us visiting the other kingdoms as well as meeting old and new friends along the way. Can I just say hello Rhodes and Easton ! I was on the edge of my seat (okay really my bed ) the entire time. LOVE LOVELOVE
The second book in this series sees Lyric unlock more of her elements but it also sees her face great evil and loss. In each book you get more of the background of Maison and the people who live there. The ending just leaves you wanting more.
Got my hands on this beauty and I’m still reeling back in from everything that happened. Talk about a book hangover, this book reached multiple levels of epic and amazing. With every little bit so get of the story and background and people you wants so much more. And get ready for the emotional cliff it leaves you one. Count down for From Spirit and Binding has been started.
Wow this book needs more than 5 stars! Lyric has been back in the human world for a year training and reading up on the Maison realm. She has nightmares and dreams that really scare and confuse her. When it is time to go back, she is more prepared than she was last time. This part of the story was very intense as she learns more about the Obscurite Kingdom and the the Lumiere. The group she travels with is beset at every turn and not until close to the end do you find out who and what is behind it. Parts of the book are riveting, parts are heartbreaking and many times, you are holding your breath waiting to find out what will happen next. A stupendous second chapter to this story and now I want the next one. I got this book from the author for an honest review and I can’t say enough good things about it. You won’t be sorry if you pick it up. It does help to read the first story first, but you will catch up fast. Thanks Carrie for a wonderful story
Whoa….Lyric’s journey takes her back to the Maison Realm, but the people she expects to see on the other side are not there. She is thankful that Brae is with her, and now she must learn to trust 3 new people and deal with Easton and the attraction to him that she can’t explain. Her heart still aches at the loss/reincarnation of Brae, the realization about Rhodes and the fear that she will never be what this world expects her to be. Her journey continues as she enters new territories and gains new elements, becomes stronger ash she fights along sides the ones she cares for and when she faces Rhodes and everything that was left unsaid….I LOVE this series! I can’t wait to read the next one!
Wow! Amazing! I am speechless! From Flame and Ash and The Elements of Five series are epic!
This is book #2 in the series and it will blow you away! It kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved it!!
