11.5.23 | Sunday
Catching up on 7 weeks worth of work for my Islamic studies classes. Today I picked up my planner and notebook after a month. After a prolonged rest I am slowly starting to get back up. I cleaned out my whole desk area as well. Motivation is sparse, so when I’m feeling good I try to do as much as I can.

Review Princess of Ashes Trilogy by Laura Sebastian
Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia's family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess--a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.
For ten years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She's endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.
Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn't always won on the battlefield.
For ten years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.
Ash Princess
Publisher: Montena
N° pages: 384
Publication: April 24, 2018
5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Kaiser murdered Theodosia's mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo's country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princess--a pet to toy with and humiliate for ten long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn't realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon.
Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostage--Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser's rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne.
To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done.
Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself.

5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. Renamed the Ash Princess, she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. But though she wore a crown of ashes, there is fire in Theo’s blood. As the rightful heir to the Astrean crown, it runs in her veins. And if she learned nothing else from her mother, she learned that a Queen never cowers.
Now free, with a misfit army of rebels to back her, Theo must liberate her enslaved people and face a terrifying new enemy: the new Kaiserin. Imbued with a magic no one understands, the Kaiserin is determined to burn down anyone and everything in her way.
The Kaiserin’s strange power is growing stronger, and with Prinz Søren as her hostage, there is more at stake than ever. Theo must learn to embrace her own power if she has any hope of standing against the girl she once called her heart’s sister.

5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is of fantasy genre, magic, adventure, revenge and romance (it has a love triangle). It is a dystopia. It features the four elements, water, air, earth and fire. There are also characters from the LGBTQ+ community.
It has good development of each character, they fit together very well. The plot is unpredictable and that's great because you don't know what you're going to find in the next chapter.
This is a beautiful saga, I loved it and suffered like a damned. Gripping from beginning to end and incidentally very cruel, too much so. It's beautiful, it's well worth reading. Even though I don't agree very much with the ending, it entertained me a lot and is one of my best reads of the year.
"What we do to survive does not define us. We make no apologies for it," she says quietly, still looking me in the eye.
"Maybe, you've been broken but that has only made you a sharper weapon."
"It's not possible to please everyone without losing yourself."
"You're never ready to throw yourself into battle, but you do it anyway."
These are the maps designed by the author to create this beautiful literary universe.
Astrea is the kingdom invaded in the siege by the Kalovaxians and it is the kingdom that Theodosia/Thora wants to recover.
Loved the fanart

Review: La fragilidad de un corazón bajo la lluvia - María Martinez
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5
I loved this book, I laughed and cried several times. I got angry too hahaha. It was therapeutic for me. It may be one of the best books I've ever read, or in any case, I HAVEN'T ENJOYED A READING SO MUCH IN YEARS.
This wonderful thing killed my emotional stability. The way the characters mesh so well together is SUPERIOR. The fact that Darcy and Declan both had that happen to them was to face the raw life or everything around them. Both facing their pasts with their respective problems. I ached for both losses in my soul. I loved every chapter. It's one of the few books I've been moved to the point of actual tears.
I read it at the perfect time because I identified so much with the characters' personalities.

What you don't say - Fabian Romer ft. toksi
There's a big elephant in the room
I don't dare look at it again
I'll pretend it's nothing and control myself
I think I'm going to burst out again
But I'll stop and think: how do you take it all in?
How can I wrap it up or should I just come straight out?

Una de mis canciones favoritas. Fue y es las pocas que me acompañaron en los momentos más oscuros, de las que me ayudaron a romper la barrera de cristal, saltar el abismo, voltear ese muro de origami.
Esa pared que a pesar de todas las adversidades me acompaña en esta mochila llamada vida.
Me encantaría ser diferente, ser libre, ser feliz...
"The blood in my veins
Is made up of mistakes
Let’s forget who we are
And dive into the dark
As we burst into color
Returning to life"

"Quizá la clave estaba en sentir sin más. En no esperar nada y dejar que todo me sorprendiera. En deshacerme de los malos recuerdos y crear otros nuevos sin su sombra."
"Me estoy dando cuenta de que no puedo permitir que el pasado me rompa más futuros."

Review: Defy the night - Brigid Kemmerer
The kingdom of Kandala is on the brink of disaster. Rifts between sectors have only worsened since a sickness began ravaging the land, and within the Royal Palace, the king holds a tenuous peace with a ruthless hand.
King Harristan was thrust into power after his parents' shocking assassination, leaving the younger Prince Corrick to take on the brutal role of the King's Justice. The brothers have learned to react mercilessly to any sign of rebellion--it's the only way to maintain order when the sickness can strike anywhere, and the only known cure, an elixir made from delicate Moonflower petals, is severely limited.
Out in the Wilds, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade is tired of seeing her neighbors die, their suffering ignored by the unyielding royals. Every night, she and her best friend Wes risk their lives to steal Moonflower petals and distribute the elixir to those who need it most--but it's still not enough.
As rumors spread that the cure no longer works and sparks of rebellion begin to flare, a particularly cruel act from the King's Justice makes Tessa desperate enough to try the impossible: sneaking into the palace. But what she finds upon her arrival makes her wonder if it's even possible to fix Kandala without destroying it first.
Review:
I need to read the sequel. I was impressed around the torture but otherwise you can tell I rarely stopped reading it. It is a beautiful story with very raw and well put together characters. There is always an undercurrent behind an authoritarian government, not always the one at the head is the corrupt one. I love reading books inspired by Robin Hood.
READ THIS IMMEDIATELY
