Sometimes she was conflicted, occasionally she tried to reassure herself she wasn’t a total monster – I’ve never seen a more compelling depiction of our desire to justify our choices to ourselves, no matter how evil they are. Maybe not in terms of her powers, but certainly in terms of how she thinks and acts.
Most importantly, it’s about Nita – who I think is the most incredibly relatable heroine, someone who’s neither all good nor all bad – and her choices, which are sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Sometimes it’s about good people making bad choices but it’s also about bad people making good choices. Only Ashes Remain is a gorgeously written, darkly complex novel.
The book revolves around Nita and Kovit’s attempts to make Fabricio pay while eluding hunters, INHUP, and Kovit’s mafia Family, who are determined to regain their pet torturer. The good news? She has Kovit, the twisted zannie, back as an ally, although his appetites make her uncomfortable. But a run of bad luck means that every hunter in the world is now on her trail. She abruptly comes face-to-face with Fabricio – the boy who betrayed her after she saved his life. Having been captured in the previous book to be sold to the highest bidder, we left her at the end of Not Even Bones under the protection of INHUP. The series stars Nita, a 17-year-old ‘unnatural’ with the power to manipulate her own body. Especially to YA books.īut this book and its predecessor, Not Even Bones, are the exception. Okay, so if you’ve been following my reviews for any length of time, you know that I basically NEVER give out 5-star ratings. Now caught in a game of kill or be killed, Nita will do whatever it takes to win.ĪRC received in exchange for an honest review – thank you! But killing Fabricio is harder than Nita thought it would be, even with Kovit by her side. And the best way to start building her reputation? Take her revenge on Fabricio, the boy who sold Nita to her kidnappers. Nita must make herself so feared that no one would ever dare come after her again. There’s only one way to keep herself safe. But with a video of her ability to self-heal all over the dark web, Nita knows she’s still a prime target on the black market. After escaping her kidnappers and destroying the black market where she was held captive, all Nita wants is to find a way to live her life without looking over her shoulder.
