Answers to questions

I was currently reading Kingdom of Ash and Briars by Hannah West. I just finished the book and it’s
really adventurous and lovey-dovey. The plot started off really amazing because the orphan girl named
Bristal, was forced to go in the water. The water is a place where you either live or die, but the only way
to live is if the water chooses you and gives you a magical stone. After she got her stone, one of the
mentors that was training her turned evil and cursed someone. This made war between Bristal and her.
Bristal falls in love with the prince named Anthony, but with everything at hand, she closes herself up
between everyone because she doesn’t want to lose anyone. Will she be able to survive this war and be
with her love? I know the answer, but I don’t want to be a spoiler alert for you guys. I love this book
and I don’t think I highly dislike anything, because it’s like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Mulan
combined! A quote from the book that I really like is, "Don't play with darkness. Don't even touch it,
because someday the world will need you." I think it is important because it's telling me that you
shouldn't be evil and all because who will be the one to help people when their sad or hurt? Be always
good! And by the way, you should totally read this book because if I like it, then you’ll probably like it
too! : )
