Thank you to Netgalley and Margaret Mantor for an ARC of this novel.

Air and Ashes by Margaret Mantor is YA Sci-Fi romance filled with a unqiye magic system, delivering the trops and content promised bythe description of the book. The FMC was relatable and truly a YA protagonist. She has a lot of traits that teenagers currently have but there are some themes I disliked. I felt there were some parts ourely written for including the tropes.

I love this book! I need book two asap! This brought me back to the glory days of YA thriller/romance/fantasy. I read this book in one sitting, and it went by too fast; Margaret Mantor's writing is superb. The pacing of the characters, the twists, the turns, the slow-burn romance, the found family I NEED MORE! Do yourself a favour and read this book!

Yall !!!! I am giddy after reading this book! I loved it ! I need more!

If you like sci fi fantasy, distopian world feel, magical elements, family secrets, and will they won't they vibes then get this book TOMORROW!

Thank you netgalley and Margaret Mantor for this amazing ARC !

The narrative is rich with true-to-life storytelling that combines practical advice with the experiences of leaders who have faced crises. It provides insights into how these leaders navigated through turbulent waters, reflecting on their struggles and the lessons learned along the way. The book serves as a resource for those moments when everything seems to be falling apart, offering wisdom that can be applied in real-world situations.The narrative follows the protagonist, a young girl named Elara, who discovers her unique ability to manipulate the elements of air and fire. As she navigates her newfound powers, she becomes embroiled in a conflict between two powerful factions: one that seeks to control elemental magic for their own gain and another that aims to protect it from misuse.

Elara’s journey is not just about mastering her abilities; it also involves deep personal growth as she grapples with her identity and the responsibilities that come with her powers. Alongside her best friend, who harbors secrets of his own, Elara embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind her lineage and the ancient prophecy that ties her fate to the elemental forces.

I start reading this without any expectations and the book didn't disappointed, I loved it.. It gave me huge The last airbender vibes withe elements vibes and Elara story was actually an amazing one.
The FMC lost her mom and right away she founds out that everything she thought she knew actually wasn't the truth and that can mess with our minds but still I loved it..
