Interpretation During Books An Inheritance of Ashes

Six months ago, the men of the lakelands marched south to fight a dark god.

Weeks after the final battle was won, sixteen-year-old Hallie and her sister, Marthe, are still struggling to maintain their family farm—and are waiting for Marthe’s missing husband to return. After a summer of bitter arguments, Hallie is determined to get Roadstead Farm through the winter—and keep what’s left of her family together, despite an inheritance destined to drive them apart.

But when Hallie hires a wandering veteran in a bid to save the farm, every phantom the men marched south to fight arrives at her front gate. Spider-eyed birds circle the fields, ghostly messages write themselves on the riverbank, and soon Hallie finds herself keeping her new hired hand’s desperate secrets—and taking dangerous risks. But as she fights to keep both the farm and her new friend safe, ugly truths about her own family are emerging—truths that, amid gods, monsters, and armies, might tear Roadstead Farm apart.

Leah Bobet’s stark, beautiful fantasy explores the aftermath of the battles we fight and the slow, careful ways love can mend broken hearts—and a broken world.

4.5 stars.

Creepy, homey, magicalThis is the second time I've read this book... The first time was when it was first published, and since then, this book has lived in the back of my head, quietly talking to me. The emotional beats are so resonant. The setting is amazing: creepy, homey, magical. On this read through, I got out the maps a dozen times and googled park acreage in Detroit. I have made up my mind as to where Roadstead Farm is set, on the Detroit River.

This was a DNF at 40% for me. The writing style was actually quite good and the premise was interesting but basically NOTHING was happening and the story was dragging along. I think it could make a cool Tim Burton film or something but as a book it just wasn't working for me. Might go back to it one day not sure.

And while sixteen-year-old Hallie and her sister wait to see who will return from the distant battlefield, they struggle to maintain their family farm.When Hallie hires a veteran to help them, the war comes home in ways

When the world has already ended and the war against a Mad God has already been fought and won, a sixteen-year old struggles to deal with her family and community.Hallie lives on the family farm with her heavily pregnant sister Marthe. They're not getting along, because Marthe's husband has not returned from the War where the Mad God was killed and that's placing a lot of pressure on their already strained relationship. Which is only one of a long history of strained relationships in this sad

An Inheritance of Ashes is up my alley in so many ways, and it delivered on every front. Its about two sisters who cannot find a way both to run their jointly-owned farm and to relate easily and kindly to each other. Its about the bravery of leaving and the bravery of staying to fight, and the ways people get those things terribly wrong. Its about the stories we tell about ourselves and our ability to escape from those stories. Its about the aftermath of a war and the wounds it leaves in people

What an enjoyable read. In truth it's been on my TBR pile for a while because as much as I've enjoyed Leah Bobet's writing in the past, I am feeling very leery about reading YA fantasy these days as I'm often left disappointed. I need to remember there are authors I trust for a reason, and Bobet is one of them. She writes complex, nuanced relationships, and her fantasy is a split-rooted tree - half tethered in reality and half in a dreamy haze of weirdness.While the one "mystery" at play was
