Publisher's summary
There was once peace and prosperity in the realm of Daearen, but war has torn the lands apart and scattered the people into two factions: those who willingly bend the knee to the self-appointed Queen Morrigan, and those who refuse. As the life force known as awen is slowly diminishing, the fight to relinquish the invading forces is growing ever more desperate.
In the city of Keinuka, Barret Borrowmag—the son of a prominent general—plots against his father while the succubus Penixia is torn between her growing love for the handsome rebel and the loyalty she holds for her mistress, the Queen.
Sent on a journey across the countryside by his older brother, Helmer Borrowmag finds himself far from home. He is equipped with the knowledge that he has a role to play and there is only one place where he might find answers: the Colony.
In the Colony, the Fae Keena is stepping into the role of warrior, though she would rather become a healer. A new power has begun to manifest itself within her, one that whispers words of consolation while tempting her to give into its fury. She knows she mustn’t, but she can feel her control slipping and is fearing where this new path might take her.
The threat of Morrigan hangs over one and all, the draining awen leaving a connection to magic unstable and as times draw close for a great clash, the fates of those involved will grow increasingly intertwined, calling for sacrifices to be made so that balance may be restored.

Story
In the world of Warbreaker, each person is born endowed with the power of one Breath―which can be sold and collected by others, then used to Awaken objects and even corpses to do their bidding. A few individuals who die in glory return as gods, with the power of thousands of Breath, but no memory of their mortal lives―and are enthroned in the Court of Gods in Hallandren’s capital. To Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claim of the Returned to be gods are repugnant blasphemy.

The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos.

Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.

Everyone dreams of marrying a prince - except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother's diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

Below Forsaken Mountain, a plot is being hatched to overthrow the tyrant king of Trollus, and Marc is the right-hand man of its leader. His involvement is information more than one troll would kill to possess, which is why he must keep it a secret from everyone, even the girl he loves. After accidentally ruining her sister's chance to become queen, Pénélope is given one last opportunity by her father, the Duke d'Angoulême, to make herself useful: she must find proof that the boy she's in love with is conspiring against the crown.

Story
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Building worlds and characters
I really liked it when the main female character started using her powers. And how she tried to shield her mother from having to do it. The building of the characters and the different areas was really well done. I got lost a little at the end, but I’ll Re listen before the 2nd is due out.

Wowza! This book!
I usually have troubles reading fantasty, but oh boy this book! I followed along with no issues. I quickly fell in love with the characters. The world building wasn’t confusing at all for me. I really loved that there were multiple POV’s. I like to read about all of the characters and love them even more! This book was a bit dark, it made my heart race, there was just so much that I loved in this book! I didn’t want the story to end. I seriously can’t wait for the next book. The narrator did a fantastic job with this book. She did just a great job giving each character a unique voice!

Fantasy Novel You Can Listen To.
I love fantasy, but typically I can’t listen to them, especially the world building. This wasn’t the case with Queen of Ash and Ruin. The narrator was absolutely perfect, perfect pitch and so good at distinctive voices. The author built us a beautiful world, with a wonderful story. I highly recommend this audio book for fantasy lovers. I can’t wait for book 2!
