Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Of Fallen Ash and War is a work of fiction in the science fiction, action, and adventure subgenres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience. Penned by author G. T. Gretz, this exciting novel plunges readers into a gripping post-apocalyptic world with elements of dystopia, fantasy, and mystery. The narrative revolves around Ash, a character grappling with amnesia, and her journey with Milo as they navigate a world threatened by the Razen army. The story unfolds as they attempt to reach a sanctuary city while being pursued by a formidable enemy.

Author G. T. Gretz has pulled out all the stops to craft a tale with richly developed characters, a suspenseful plot, and an exploration of profound themes. I was particularly impressed by the narrative style, which allows us to get close to Ash and her fascinating psychological journey. The speech is dynamic, and the presentation of action and emotion feels palpably intense, with Ash making some very tough decisions as the mettle of her whole crew is tested by the twisting plot. Gretz has also employed excellent atmospheric lexical choices to paint the scene of a unique dystopian world filled with mysteries, special abilities, and the ever-present threat of the Razen, offering an immersive tale of cinematic proportions. The story is both a fast-paced adventure through a dangerous landscape and a heartfelt quest for identity, belonging, and purpose that builds to a really satisfying conclusion. Overall, Of Fallen Ash and War offers a fresh take on the dystopian genre, keeping readers engaged from beginning to end, and I would certainly recommend it to sci-fi and fantasy fans alike seeking an exhilarating new adventure.
