The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King Paperback – 4 June 2024

It has everything, love, romance, secrets, adventure, action EVERYTHING!! Loved reading it. Would recommend it to all fantasy romance lovers.

Second book of Crowns of Nyaxia series. It is a well written fantasy. I enjoyed reading both the books. World building, character development and plotline, everything is to the point. Emotions and surprise elements are also perfect. Its a good fantasy series for beginners as well.I m looking forward to the release of 3rd book.

A fantasy that takes world building to another level...a treat to all those who love enemies to lovers trope, soulmates and badass heroine..

The first book is always a charm but the 2nd one was not less. It had same pattern at times but with more fight scenes and more stakes. All in all an enjoyable ride. But the last 100 pages hooked me to the story. A must read for those who love Vampires.

First of all I love the happy ending. Raihn and Oraya came back together and married in love. I love the whole story

Ashes and The Star-Cursed King, the second book in the Crown of Nyxia series, completely exceeded my expectations. If you’ve been following me, you already know how much I adore this universe and its characters. I put off reading this sequel for a while—partly because I wasn’t emotionally ready after The Serpent and The Wings of Night—but I’m so glad I finally picked it up. It delivered everything I needed: heartbreak, tension, groveling, spice, and a plot that never lost momentum.Oraya was already a character I admired, but this book made me respect her even more. Her growth, internal battles, and the way she carries herself through every twist and turn—absolutely powerful. And Raihn, ever the charming and morally grey favorite, stole every scene he was in. I also loved the deeper insight into Vincent’s character—his backstory added such rich emotional layers to the story and gave even more meaning to Oraya’s arc.What really elevated this book was the emotional depth—so much yearning, tension, and unspoken emotion that made the reading experience incredibly immersive. And while I expected a neatly tied-up ending, I loved that Carissa Broadbent chose to keep it open-ended. It leaves space for interpretation, reflection, and honestly, a lingering ache that felt right for these characters.If you enjoy slow-burn romance, complex characters, emotional intensity, and vampire romantasy, you need to pick up this series.

It was a good book but imo the first one was better and it also got boring and boring leading to the end
