Tahleen reviews "Ashes, Ashes" by Jo Treggiari

Title: Ashes, Ashes
Author: Jo Treggiari
Publisher: Scholastic, 2011

Rating: ★★ ½









  1. Gah! Teasers are all well and good but I WANT TO KNOW what happens -- why is she special? Who are the Sweepers and what do they do with people they take? I have this one on my shelf but might hold off (is there a sequel planned?)

  2. Great review! I read it a few months ago and I agree with everything you say. Too many questions and not enough answers or back story. It was a letdown :(

  3. I DNF this book. I, too, was waiting for a back story and my patience ran out. And that you mention we don't get answers to burning questions, well that reassures me that I did the right thing by putting this book down. It just wasn't the book for me.

    Great review!

  4. Thanks everyone! I am hoping there will be a sequel. I think the story has a lot of potential, but it just hasn't been realized yet. I'm guessing there will be, considering how difficult it is to publish a single volume in YA right now.
