I wish there had been a little more of a build up for those, but this is just a minor quibble. Instead, we’re shown the end result of a failed rebellion set 15 years before the events of the story. ’~Legacy of Ash is the first instalment in the aptly titled Legacy Trilogy by Matthew Ward. How long have you got?

I listened to it and was instantly grabbed, I read the book within the next two days I think. Not only that, but despite the larger scope of characters in this book, all were relevant and had a significant role to play in the overall plot of the book. He built the tension, the atmosphere, by strategically placing characters in various parts of the battlefield to ensure the reader gets a fully rounded perspective of the fighting from all sides, even the enemies line.

In addition, I loved Kurkas and the "plant-pot", excuse me "Lady plant-pot herald of the…" lol. Other honourable mentions were; Anastacia, who held so much magical power, she was just plain awesome. I’ll admit, I was a little unsure of the book at first. Jeez, she was ruthless; the way she could manipulate situations to ensure her dominance and power, was both maddening but also well played!
