On Wings of Ash and Dust

De: Brittany Wang

Narrado por: Talon David

A rebel pixie princess. A deadly competition between five faerie clans. Will she win the crown or die trying?

Pixie pirate Quinn may be an outlaw, wanted by all five faerie clans, but she prefers it that way. All she wants is to finally become a captain and bury her true identity beneath the rolling waves. But when the sudden death of her twin brother causes her to plot a vengeful heist, a shocking betrayal unmasks her for who she really is—her people’s last living heir.

Her only hope of escaping certain death for her crimes is taking her brother’s place in the Ethodine: a dangerous competition for the faerie crown.

In a series of death-defying trials, Quinn faces off with the heirs of four rival clans:

A mute beast tamer.
A flirtatious merman.
A half-blind artist.
And a pompous princess.

But as dark secrets unravel and an ancient prophecy entwines their fates, rivals must become allies before there’s no world left to rule.

On Wings of Ash and Dust is the action-packed first book in this YA epic fantasy. If you're looking for a fresh take on fae magic, deadly trials, and royal intrigue with a dash of enemies-to-lovers, then you’ll adore Brittany Wang’s whimsical and dangerous tale.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“On Wings of Ash and Dust is a wild, glittering, glorious ride from start to finish. Every single character shines in their own unique way, but Quinn especially is a powerhouse of a character. I haven’t rooted so hard for a protagonist to succeed in quite some time! This series has everything: a little romance, a little (a lot of) competition, a little found family, a little enemies to allies to lovers...this book is a delight, and definitely a new favorite!” (Cassidy Clarke, author of The Saltwater Heir)

A top-notch YA Fantasy Adventure!

This is a top-notch YA Fantasy adventure—I LOVED everything about it! The main character, Quinn, is impossible not to like; she’s a fae pirate captain AND heir to the throne in her kingdom, which is one of five fae kingdoms in the realm. She winds up having to compete in a winner-takes-all lethal competition against four other fae rivals. I loved each of the young fae competitors; their characters are well drawn and complement each other in so many ways. They each have a special gift or talent, such as Quinn’s elemental fire magic, which she can’t control and keeps hidden away. The plot flows and twists across all five fae kingdoms as the rivals must compete in five trials for the grand prize: the crown of all Faylan. If you love YA fantasy that’s packed with tricksters, betrayals, battles, mythical creatures, fantastical worlds, romance, found family, and enemies-to-allies, then do yourself a favor and pick up On Wings of Ash and Dust. You won’t be disappointed! I listened to the audiobook, which was beautifully narrated by Talon David.

The characters!!!!!

Honestly, the characters are what sold this book for me. I feel like I personally know each and every one of them.

The concept, storyline, characters an world building are Top Notch. Incredible fantasy read with equally incredible narration.

Technically this account is under my brother but I'm reviewing this as a 30 year old woman who can't get enough fantasy in my life. I saw an Instagram reel for this book while I was taking a break from SJM's series waiting for my sister to catch up. It looked really good and I love everything fae so I bought it on Audible and started reading! I can't say enough good things about this book and this author but I will try!
First thing is that the writing style is so fluid and I didn't find anything to complain about. Brittany's world building and character developments are very well thought out and executed.
Second is that I was a bit wary getting another book solely based on an Instagram reel since the last time I did that I ended up regretting it, BUT this was a wonderful surprise. There is no spice, and a lot of people think that no spice means boring. This book is by no means boring at all. I am a fan of some spiciness 🌶 don't get me wrong, but lately it's just spice for the heck of it and I have to skip scenes to get to the plot. That's annoying. So I really love that the transition from the grit to the sweetness of the rivals to lovers plot really shines through.
I love the adventurous spirit of this book that is masterfully woven with secrets and twists I truthfully did not see coming until revealed in the last portion. And I mean come on... it's pirates AND faeries!!! What more can a girl want? 😍
As for the narration, Talon David is a master of her craft. I usually have little gripes here and there on pronunciations or tones of voice used, but this was absolutely flawless. She gave each character their own little spotlight and it was one of my favorite Audible experiences so far. I can't wait to hear more from her!
To sum it up, as a lover of all things fantasy I ✨HIGHLY✨ recommend this book and following this author for the continuation of this story. I can't wait to get my physical copy to add to my collection! 😁

Great clean fantasy adventure

This book has all the basics I look for in a fantasy series.

Characters wrestling with their morality and ultimately choosing good, a magic system that is not occultish, clean romance without spiciness.

Highly recommend for children and adults who like such things!

I love this book so much!

Wow!!!! I was incredibly blown away by this book. It is one of my new favorite fantasies! The characters, the story and the writing are so captivating you can’t put it down!

I loved the amazing love shared between the characters and the MC drive and strength to preserve. This book has small amounts of romance but it was just enough and so sweet! No spice! :) I will be thinking about this book until the new one comes out!

The narrator was AMAZING! Literally incredible and so immersive! I was so glad I spent a credit on this book.

What a Ride!

I never write reviews, but I'm so excited about this book. I am not much of a reader so I appreciate this audible version.
The story is so captivating. I was hooked from the start and all the way through. I listened to it within a couple days. There are twists and turns that I didn't see coming. The friendships, rivalries, and romance is everything! After listening and re-listening to the story, I researched the author, and she is working on continuing the story, which I am so excited for! But this story also is a great stand alone story that is so intriguing.
I really loved the performance of the voice actor! She really did her best to change her voice for each and every character, and there were quite a few! There were a couple lines I wish were said differently, but that's just me being picky. The overall performance was amazing! I'm so thankful that people put there stories on here for those of us to love stories, but struggle to read.
So if you can't tell, I highly recommend this story!

simply delightful!!

This story was amazing and twisting right to the very end!! I loved Quinn's character arc and the world building was fantastic without being overwhelming. I can't wait for the next one!!

Such a fun ride!

First off, audio narrator was amazing! Great job!! She really made the story come alive!!

This story had so many intricate twists and turns. When I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. It was a truly enjoyable read with great world building, interesting characters that I came to love. I understand so many of Quinn’s quirks. So much fun!!!

I can’t even name one thing. This book was amazing!

Every character felt real. The story was INSANELY well written and very inspiring. I would read this twice. If you love a more adult version of tinker bell but not as dark as Hunger Games but all the tension and adrenaline rush, this is for you. A rare book young adults and adults can enjoy!
Slow clap, just slow clap

It felt like nostalgia and the long-awaited. Sequel to Tinkerbell.

Absolutely amazing book and world of the fairies. I loved how the romance built and how the world felt like centuries later from the Tinkerbell movies that we all grew up and loved. I feel like this book is perfect for preteens all the way up to adults. Can't wait for more stories and the sequel!
