A Curse of Ash and Embers
A Curse of Ash and Embers | Jo Spurrier
6 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
A dead witch. A bitter curse. A battle of magic. Some people knit socks by the fire at night. Gyssha Blackbone made monsters. But the old witch is dead now, and somehow it's Elodie's job to clean up the mess. When she was hired at Black Oak Cottage, Elodie had no idea she'd find herself working for a witch; and her acid-tongued new mistress, Aleida, was not expecting a housemaid to turn up on her doorstep. Gyssha's final curse left Aleida practically dead on her feet, and now, with huge monsters roaming the woods, a demonic tree lurking in the orchard and an angry warlock demanding repayment of a debt, Aleida needs Elodie's help, whether she likes it or not. And no matter what the old witch throws at her, to Elodie it's still better than going back home. Praise for Winter Be My Shield: 'Unlikely heroes, villains you will cheer for, and cold that eats your bones. "Winter Be My Shield" will take you to an unforgiving place, but you won't want to leave it.' Robin Hobb

A young girls gets a job as a servant to a witch. She can‘t go home- she hates her step dad so decides to stick it out. Trouble ensues and she finds herself learning about a world of creatures and magic she never knew existed. Plot, storyline and characters were great- the writing was just okay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 stars!

As a super fussy reader it‘s rare to find a book that I fall into almost straight away but this was a rare one. It‘s such a gentle easy to read book with wonderful characters. I was shocked to find out the author was a local to me as I was sure she must have been American or English! Would recommend this one to anyone who loves a fantasy. 5 stars.

We did a thing…..meet Salem! We were taking Peace‘s diabetic cat food to a rescue and this little man was there. He has quite a story from such a little life, being the only one of his litter to survive. I had to bring him home. He is also the perfect reading buddy as all he wants is to play and sleep with his humans.

Books from my TBR...

👀 any recommendations?

BehindthePages I haven't read any of this but A Curse of Ash and Embers has a gorgeous cover xD 4y
PickwickPlockPlock I have only read Gods of Jade and Shadow, and liked it very much. 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BehindthePages - I bought it when I was on holiday in March (feels so long ago!) - no one on Litsy seems to have read it, I could be the first! 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @PickwickPlockPlock, I was so excited when it came out... so I‘m not sure why it‘s still on my tbr 4y
Lylah I read The Dark Tide and it was one of my favorite books in recent memory! Very atmospheric and a good Tam Lin reimagining. 4y

S is for September

So I celebrated by ransacking my shelves for authors with names that start with S...

In other news - I‘m awake and not happy about it.
