A place where futures are made and some ended. Rhazorth College of Dragons and Hierarchy. But the two crave Yara Vescari and have no mercy against her. She’s been preparing for the Severance of bonds since she joined as a cadet, now a senior, finding her dragon could lead to her death or may bring the biggest surprise of her life.Alaric Blackmere is no saint. Son of the Sorceress rumored to control dragons themselves, he carries Death at his heels — and thankfully attends the rival college. But Yara’s relief doesn’t last long. It's been 5 decades since the two colleges have merged & allied. But this could be their only hope against the Skathes.
The Skathes care for one thing dragons. And they will burn the world to possess them.

This book was the definition of phenomenal. For a 15 year old author it was heading up to the big leagues like Fourthwing and Bloodwing Academy. It's the type of debut book that makes you think, "this is her first book and she delivered THIS."
The worldbuilding is rich without ever feeling overwhelming, the kind of immersive fantasy that pulls you in from page one and refuses to let go. I live laugh love the tension between Alaric and Yara (HE CALLS HER FRICKING CHAOS OMG). He's a prince. He's hot. And he tells her that he stands beside her. Every. Damn. Time.The way he looks at her like she’s both the problem and the solution? I need help.
I also really enjoyed the found family and how everyone had their role. Elijah our favourite comedian. Sasha. The brains. Never thought I would like Emilia but she became on of my fav's. Like I have never read a book with enemies to friends platonically.
I cried for an hour after Nyro's death because what do you mean he was about to see his family after EIGHT YEARS. Zaerya I'm coming for you - that was not very nice. And then before that Nyro got hit again when the love of his life became the traitor.
The thrill. The war. The politics. The 'He's gone to reclaim the throne'
Alaric and Yara's story is so so so well written and I am currently waiting eagerly for book 2 in the Aethorian Series. If there's a book that screams run don't walk. It's this one

SPOILERS!!!
I genuinely don't know how to explain how much I love Crown of Her Ashes.
From the start I was hooked, and worldbuilding was so easy to understand and get into. The dragons, kingdoms, politics and characters had so much detail and it worked so well together.
First Yara, this ABSOLUTE BADDIE, was probably one of my favourite parts of the book. She's strong and stubborn and sometimes makes terrible decisions, but in a way that makes sense. I was rooting for her the entire time.
And Alaric...
I fear I understand the hype. The tension between him and Yara was SO GOOD. They have the perfect balance of arguing, supporting each other, and making me want to throw my book across the room. Every time they had a scene together or he called her ‘Chaos’, I sat there smiling, giggling and kicking my feet,
But honestly, what made this book stand out for me was the friendships. Riven genuinely felt like a family. Elijah was funny, Sasha was iconic and every character just made the book better.
The betrayal absolutely broke my heart. It was so well written, I was emotionally attached to every character like they were my babies. Everything from Alaric and Nyro’s bond, and everyone else’s relationships…just call me single at that point ... .god. It was so amazing to read, the found family trope is ridiculously good. The dragons were amazing, the battle scenes were exciting, and I loved all the political drama. There was always something happening, but it never felt rushed.
The ending has left me desperately needing book two because there are still so many questions I need answered.
If you like dragons, find family, romance that doesn't take over the whole story, plot twists that hurt, and characters you'll get way too attached to. HONEY, I'M TELLING YOU NOW, READ THIS BOOK.
I finished it and immediately wanted to start it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good Plot Bad Writing
I think this plot had so much potential but the grammar and writing seems to be 5th grade level. It is very obvious AI was used to help write this story. I ended up DNFing because the grammar and writing style made it impossible to keep up without getting confused.

DNF at page 11. It’s so poorly written that I physically couldn’t force myself to keep reading.
I’ve read a lot of “crappy” books and don’t need a book to be a literary masterpiece to enjoy it but omg.
You read one sentence in present tense, next one in past tense, the next is present tense again, then two sentences in past. And so on. I just can’t. I wish I could enjoy it but I’m not gonna lie, it’s just not for me. If you can’t look past this, go ahead and enjoy it.

Maybe the idea for the book is good, but I cannot get over the writing. It's very bad. The dialogue, the descriptions, everything is a mess. The author should have spent so much more time on developing and writing. DNF
August 1, 2026
This book is pretty good for being a teen author and it being a debut novel aswell, it’s still super impressive writing a book so young.
I liked the overall fantasy part with the dragons and everything but while i was reading it i was really confused in the first quarter of it because of the way it was written, when it skipped scenes u didn’t really know what was going on. The writing also every now and then switched to 3rd person in the middle of the chapter for a few sentences. I wish Alaric had more pov’s then just a few throughout the book.
I liked the writing towards the ending climax for the most part except for one thing which is the writing kinda made the war not seem as high stakes as it actually was. I liked where it ended off i feel like it wasn’t a big cliff hanger like some books and it went smoothly i would continue this series and read the next book.
(i did get this as a arc around june 20th so all the editing and stuff could not have been finished yet, i am still glad i read this and received this!)

I can't finish it, it pains me to read this. It's so bad written, It's not good.
The idea of the book is good, but this author has a long road ahead of her. She has a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes.
But the writing in this book wasn't good, it has a lot to improve, it gets to the point where the writing right now is confusing and it makes you not empathize with NO-ONE, it got to a point where it pissed me off cause I wanted to give it a chance.
TERRIBLE
And the fact that people are rating this 5 starts makes me question their taste in books and if they have ever read a good book.
Now, that being said if the author really puts in the works for this book, like more complete scenes, more descriptions, more depth to the characters. I want to know how they are feeling when they see each other, when they enter a trial or whatever, etc. It would be a good book, but right now it isn't.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Crown of her Ashes is an unputdownable romantasy full of action, magic, and romance that I was lucky enough to be an ARC reader of.
Yara Vescari attends Rhazorth College of Dragons, where she bonds with Cryrendralek, a sassy, powerful dragon with icy powers and abilities. He is definitely my favourite character, closely followed by Alaric – who goes from the witty rival to the love interest. The romance between Yara and Alaric is well-paced and feels natural, not forced. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows between them, Zaerya, the author, shows difficult moments in which their relationship becomes strained at some point, which makes it realistic. I actually found myself getting jealous of their romance and wishing that I had a relationship like Yararic’s. The romantic moments between them get interrupted multiple times get interrupted multiple times, which leaves the reader yearning for those moments more and celebrating harder once they finally happen.
Sasha is another character that I loved from her very first line. If I existed in this universe, I’d love to be friends with her. Elijah provides great, much-needed comic relief. I also love the variety of dragon breeds. Each one has their own personality, powers, and looks. Zaerya is so good at creating characters that readers become attached to and evoking emotion in her readers through her beautiful, skilled writing, that when a certain character died, I actually teared up in real life.
Rhazorth seems like an amazing academy that I wish I could attend myself. The houses are unique and the range of classes were so intriguing. I learned so much about dragons through this book and I can’t help but daydream about how much more I’d learn if I attended the academy. Another thing that I loved was the cipher Yara and her friends find in the academy’s restricted vaults.
The only cons are that I think some of the names are a bit too similar, such as Eliana and Emilia, so occasionally, I ended up getting confused. There are also a few spelling and grammar mistakes. However, these were the only downsides to the book. I had a huge smile on my face and a warm glow in my chest when I finished reading it. Overall, Crown of Her Ashes wasn’t just a book; it was an experience that motivated me to keep working on my own book, and to be as good of a writer as Zaerya is.

spoilers!!!
I genuinely don't know how to explain how much I loved Crown of Her Ashes.
From the beginning, I was completely invested. The worldbuilding was detailed but so easy to follow, and the dragons, kingdoms, politics and magic all felt like they belonged together. There was so much going on, but it never became overwhelming.
Yara was easily one of my favourite parts of the book. She's strong, stubborn and definitely makes some questionable decisions, but they always felt believable for her character. I loved watching her figure things out and honestly found myself rooting for her the entire time.
And Alaric... this man…
The tension between him and Yara was so well done. I loved that their relationship wasn't just romance, they challenged each other, argued, supported each other and actually felt like equals. And every time he called her "Chaos", I already knew I was going to love the scene.
What surprised me most, though, was how much I loved the friendships. Riven genuinely felt like a family, and I became so attached to all of them. Elijah was hilarious, Sasha was iconic, and every character added something to the story.
The betrayal genuinely hurt. By that point I cared so much about the characters and their relationships that it actually felt personal. Alaric and Nyro's bond especially was one of my favourite parts, and the found family aspect of this book was so well done.
The dragons, battles and political drama were all amazing, and there was constantly something happening without the story ever feeling rushed.
And that ending has left me with approximately a thousand questions.
I NEED book two.
If you like dragons, found family, political fantasy, slow-burn romance and characters that you'll inevitably become far too attached to, you need to read this.
I finished it and immediately wanted to read it again. Definitely a new all time favourite. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ARC Review
First off I want to say this book gave me the same vibes as Fourth wing. I honestly loved the characters in this book. Especially Yara and her relationship with Alaric 🤭. When Alaric said “I’m not protecting you because you’re a woman. I’m protecting you because you’re my woman” I bout literally screamed and giggled at the same time OMGGGG 🤭😌. The tension between Alaric and Yara is so thick I mean I was ITCHING the whole time because of how much of a slow burn this book was. Sasha which is one of Yaras best friends in the book is just so supportive and it’s always there for Yara I just love their friendship. The battle at the end of the book was honestly incredible to read I loved every second of it. I definitely cried at the end of this book only because someone important dies but overall this book was great!
Big thanks to Zaerya for letting me read this book before the release date!
This book definitely has:
-enemies to lovers
-slow burn
-one bed 😌
-friendships
-adventures
-dragons
-betrayal
-plot twist

This book was phenomenal. I have never felt so attached to the characters, the writing the animals. Yara was a really nice fmc, and I found myself relating to her experiences, Alaric was also amazing, every single time he opens his mouth I was giggling and wishing I could be here. My favourite character was honestly Auren, like I WISH HE STARTED SPEAKING FROM THE START. He was genuinely so funny and Cyren and his banter was insanely funny.
Once we hit the Lone Canopy, I knew things were getting serious, the plot twists was honestly very spontaneous and I kinda liked it, I'm still a bit confused how the Valeria thingy relates to her father but Zaerya has been dropping hints that ties directly to Yara and her family. I also do hope that magic does get released sooner or later because it was mentioned in the prolouge magic has been sealed but a flame would release it, and in the epilouge, the flame has been found so i think it interconnect.
LOVE THIS FIVE STARS!!!

Review of advance copy received from Author
This book was genuinely one of the best books I have read in a long while, especially fantasy. Even when I try to think of something bad about the book nothing comes to mind. I loved everything, starting with the plot and ending with the characters. It's not like the usual book, when I read you will find I only show most of my focus to the main characters but that wasn't it. I still loved Yara and Alaric so much I can't even put it into words, but their was so many side characters that stole my heart, but it wasn't even just the characters, the plot was GENUINLY so amazing that I was stuck in those moments where I wasn't sure if I need to to take a break, scream into my pillow or keep reading! And there is so much more I can't say without spoiling...
Overall, This was an amazing read that will stay stuck in my head for a long time, and I can't wait for this to be published and get the attention it deserves!

This book was very interesting. I was excited to continue on with the story and to discover more of the world within it. There were moments with repeated phrases, likely that weren’t deleted. And others with misspelled words and grammatical errors. BUT even with that, I really enjoyed reading it. I grew attached to the characters and found them to be well rounded and relatable. I am very impressed with the author for this plot and completion, especially as a teen (which was obvious with the 67 jokes that became like a scavenger hunt to find.) All in all, I am eager to read the next book and see how the series ends.
Review of advance copy received from Author
What a story!! I was intrigued from the beginning of this book, I really felt I resonated with the characters which I LOVE. I loved the academy world-building along with the different aspects of the dragons. And the relationships throughout were very well established. Yara was very easy to align with, her witty, sarcastic nature made her a refreshing FMC in comparison to other books. Overall, this was a very exciting read that I will recommend to anyone that loves books like Fourth Wing and Zodiac academy etc. I am excited for what Zaerya will write next and the next book in the series!! Thank you for letting me arc read this :)

knowing she wrote it at such a young age makes this book even more fascinating to me. i’ve been following her journey on TikTok for a while now, so getting to finally read the story she created has been so special.
i truly loved all the characters, and the banter had me smiling so many times. there were definitely some grammatical mistakes and things that could’ve been polished, but she’s 15, and none of that took away from how much i enjoyed the story. i had such a good time reading it.
im so proud of Zaerya for putting her story out into the world, the fact that she created a world like this so early in her writing journey is honestly amazing, she has so much potential.

I was given the privilege of being an arc reader for this story, and truly believe it is something of immense potential. Especially in a genre like fantasy where it is not always to dip your toes in.
I found myself intrigued by what I was reading from page one, and massively impressed by the storytelling done by such a young author.

Great book! Looking forward to the next instalment in thr series
This book is an awesome book for lovers of Fourth Wing and I would absolutely recommend to all my reader friends. I noticed a few grammar, spelling and pov slips while reading that could be fixed but for a first book written it is a great start that has a lot of potential!

I have to say that book was well, and the author who wrote it is extremely talented. Writing a book is never easy, but saying you’ve written a book at 15 is amazing.
The book brings out fantasy in the most perfect way while also displaying Yara and Alaric’s relationship. Their tension though out the book was such a big part, but also the reason for why I read 100+ pages in one night.
While I enjoyed most of the book, I have to admit that it is quite similar to Fourth Wing and the grammar in the book isn’t used correctly. I understand that in a book there might be some words that aren’t capitalised, but though out the book there were be missing quotation marks, incorrect use of commas (in the middle of names), and randomly 1-2 sentences would change point of views and would be written in third person. This is just a personal preference but I would have preferred if we had more chapters from Alaric’s point of view just because the only time we did was pretty early in the book and at the end of the book.
It is a great achievement that Zaerya wrote this book at 15, since it’s extremely troubling to enter this industry especially at such a young age. Despite my rating, I would still encourage other people to read this because overall it was an enjoyable book.

I understand that in a book there might be some words that aren’t capitalised, but though out the book there were be missing quotation marks, incorrect use of commas (in the middle of names), and randomly 1-2 sentences would change point of views and would be written in third person. This is just a personal preference but I would have preferred if we had more chapters from Alaric’s point of view just because the only time we did was pretty early in the book and at the end of the book.
It is a great achievement that Zaerya wrote this book at 15, since it’s extremely troubling to enter this industry especially at such a young age. Despite my rating, I would still encourage other people to read this because overall it was an enjoyable book.
