To Ashes We Run (Never To Live Book 2) Kindle Edition

Dieon used to lead his people. Now he must protect them from himself…
and from the one who possessed him.

Echofall needs an izdihar, the bridge between realms, but every girl they take becomes a witch. In desperation they reclaim their original izdihar. The one who broke them. Adisa.

Abandoned by Echofall and stripped of the power she once had, the Queen of Witches rises. She lives to see Adisa burn. But Adisa’s soul is transferred into Dieon, and he has control of their shared body.

Dieon is desperate to free his clan from their curse. Adisa only wants to escape his pursuer. Their coexistence is becoming increasingly unstable. If they don’t find a way to separate their merging minds, neither of them will survive long enough to face—or outrun—the witch’s flames.

The contract has been signed.
Echofall claims you.


-Reader's Favorite 5 Star Review- "A powerful epic fantasy that is worthy of a place on any fantasy fan's shelves."

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging, interesting, and captivating!

This book is the first in awhile that has been able to hold my attention long enough to pull me in to the story completely, and then keep me there so tightly that I don't want to put the book down! The characters are complex as is the story. It weaves in a lot of people and places, but is done very well. I took this book along on vacation, and found myself looking forward to climbing into bed after our daytime explorations, so I could quickly get back into the world of To Ashes We Run and the lives and experiences in the book. Very impressed with the unique story line and the world created in this book. This is one that I would love to see as a movie someday!

5.0 out of 5 stars A complex, fast-paced, Tolkien-style epic fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019
Reasons why you should read it:

1. YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION
If a scene doesn't hold my attention, I jump ahead. With some books, I'll even skip whole chapters because I find that I'm able to still follow the plot without having read them. Not so with To Ashes We Run. Just B. Jordan throws you into an alluring and immersive world. You have to read each chapter in its entirety to be able to understand what is happening. There were even some things that I didn't understand until I was halfway through the book and then it came together. I loved that. I love a book where I have to fit the pieces together. It keeps me interested and keeps me turning the pages.

2. FAST PACED
I know. You may be surprised to see this written on an epic fantasy that is over 500 pages long but IT WAS. It was so well done. The trick: Just B. Jordan wrote the important parts of the story; sometimes skipping weeks and/or even months ahead in the timeline to get to the crucial parts of the story. To me, it never felt disjointed but kept the pace fast.

3. ANGELS/DEMONS
I'm not sure if that is an accurate comparison to this race called the Twisted Ones but they reminded me of angels/demons and they were SO COOL! I loved seeing their realm (that exists alongside the fantasy world you follow) and seeing their stories interact or intersect with the characters.

4. The villain was a WITCH QUEEN.
Yep, a freaking Witch Queen. EPIC!!!! And, she wasn't just a raging lunatic. Her hatred and motivation for what she was doing was legitimate and reasonable...for a villain, that is.

5. The HERO was...well, heroic.
The main character, Dieon, reminded me of Ned Stark (Game of Thrones). Honorable, trustworthy, virtuous, courageous, noble, steadfast, righteous, determined, responsible. Dieon did not want power nor did he want to be put in a place of authority but many turned to him for leadership and guidance; even people that were older than him. It has been a long time since I have found such a noble character that didn't turn dull but that I actually liked.

6. MAGIC
The magic in this book was unusual. It was soul magic - transference of consciousnesses. It was intriguing to have two different characters coexist in one body. Of course, complications arose. Not only was Adisa (a Twisted One) transferred into Dieon's body but they were also sharing energy; which was drying out since both characters had separate missions they wanted to achieve.

7. WORLD-BUILDING
I loved the world and all the lore that was involved. It felt familiar like a nod to all the great fantasy writers but it also felt like the author had put her own spin on things.

In short, To Ashes We Run was a complex, fast-paced, Tolkien-style epic fantasy that every speculative fiction reader should have on their shelves. I'm a fan and Just B. Jordan's books have now become an auto-buy for me.

Note:

> This is book two in the Echofall Rising series but can be read as a standalone.

> I'll admit that the first couple of Witch Queen chapters felt disjointed from the rest of the book but once I realized what was happening, it wasn't a problem to follow along.

> I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
