Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 1) by Russell Archey – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert
Ashes of Aldyr by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was my first read of a book by Russell Archey. I was prepared for a typical dystopian fantasy tale, was I ever wrong. Nothing about Ashes of Aldyr is typical. It has a unique premise and writing style with unique characters and with what I like to call “grab you by the throat and drag you between the covers” feel to it.
The story begins with an event known as “The Rupture”. Instantly throwing the reader into the action, drama and plight of all characters that are affected. I love learning about each character’s specific challenge in each new chapter. The characters and world Mr. Archey created is so detailed you really get a sense of having been there and met the characters.
I felt this was a great entry book to this series and can’t wait for book two!!
