About this audiobook

Cinderella retold
In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother.
Consumed with grief, she finds her only joy by the light of the dying hearth fire,
re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the
fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and
dangerous fairy Sidhean, she begins to believe that her wish may be granted.
But the day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s royal Huntress, her heart begins to
change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their
friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash’s capacity for love—and
her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must
make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.
Entrancing and romantic, Ash is an empowering retelling of Cinderella about the
connection between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation
can come from even the deepest grief.

Ratings and reviews

I love Malinda lo,she's an amazing author who writes for her community and I remember growing up before I came out,wishing I had a book to read,a romance novel,I could relate to and connect with,Ash and The Huntress has been my favorite reads,even now....I bought both books,paperbacks,so when my mind is foggy from PTSD,having the audio is so very easy to hear and still get lost in imagination,the romance,and adventure/fantasy.....just the suspense of it all,still to this day gets me lost in it.
