I keep saying things like "I'm a slow reader" and how it tkes me AGES to finish a book.
And then I get my hands on The Ashfire King by @chelsabdullah.bsky.social and oop, done in two days. 😔
Good thing the story will stay with me forever. 🥰

On to the final adventure…💫
Now that ASHFIRE is out in the world, I’ve been focused on Book 3. So far, it’s been a whirlwind of a time but it’s incredibly magical to watch everything come together in the finale.
Thanks again to everyone who’s supported my work while the story is still unfolding! 🥰

Which means there are only twenty-seven days until you can read these characters picking, stumbling, and rushing unwisely into fights where the odds are stacked against them!
