Ashael Rising (The Vessel of KalaDene Book 1) by Shona Kinsella
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I really liked this book. The details that the author conveys through the protagonists eyes. It is really worth the time reading. Thanks for the copy.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Ashael is an apprentice healer who doesn't know her own powers. A legend foretold by an ancient enemy deems her "the vessel" and she must be stopped before she realizes her full power.

Over the course of the book, Ashael becomes brutalized by the enemy, Iman vilified as a spy and liar, but in the end all seems to work out. Or does it? This is apparently the first book of a series, and the ancient enemy has not yet been completely vanquished.… (more)
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Overall, I really this book. Ashael Rising was easy to read and the story easy to follow. It took me only two extended lunch times to finish. It was fun, set in a world with strange creatures (more to be discovered) and I would recommend as a light holiday read. My favourite part was the world created; the characters could be expanded further.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I'm totally a sucker for other-world fantasy fiction and this book is totally fitting the bill. It has magic, weird creatures, and well-written tension and conflict. I'm pretty stoked that this is a series and excited to see the next novel!
I thank the author and publisher for giving me a free copy to review in exchange for my honest opinion on the novel. Honestly, I love it!
