From The Ashes (The Ministry of Curiosities #6) by C.J. Archer

Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance, Science Fiction > Steampunk, Historical Fiction, Young Adult

Description:When Charlie returns to Lichfield, she steps into chaos. The killer is still on the loose, Lady Harcourt's secret is out, Seth and Gus are gone, and Lady Vickers has come to stay. But nothing compares to the chaos inflicted on Charlie's heart by seeing Lincoln every day.

Despite their frequent clashes, Lincoln and Charlie manage to work together to narrow their list of suspects. No one can be trusted, especially not the members of the committee who are not what they seem. Long buried pasts are dug up as Charlie and Lincoln attempt to restore peace to Lichfield.

But when danger enters her home, Charlie's world is shattered.

Some things to think about while you're reading. Answer just one or all of these questions, but remember, PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS when necessary! If you don't know how, ask :)

3. What was your favorite quote/passage?

4. What made the setting unique or important? Could the story have taken place anywhere?

5. Did you pick out any themes throughout the book?

6. How credible/believable did you find the narrator to be? Did you feel like you got the 'true' story?

7. How did the characters change throughout the story? How did your opinion of them change?

8. Which character did you relate to the most, and what was it about them that you connected with?

9. How did you feel about the ending? What did you like, what did you not like, and what do you wish had been different?

I still need to read this month's book before I can read this one.


Elsa Carrion (ecarrion) | 416 comments I read both Ashes To Ashes (Ministry of Curiosities, #5) by C.J. Archer and From The Ashes (The Ministry of Curiosities #6) by C.J. Archer

Loved both, can't wait till the next book.

9. How did you feel about the ending? What did you like, what did you not like, and what do you wish had been different?

The plot that has began back in book 2 is solved so I'm wondering where is the story going now.

God yes, I needed to now, it was so hard to guess who it was. I never even thought it could be whom they thought it was. And to finally see who it was, was mind blowing! It was very touching the message he left for Lincoln. But he was nuts!! I don't see how this could have ended any other way.

Just finished. Really enjoyed it. I was angry with Lincoln for what he did to Charlie. I do understand why he did it but the way he did it was cruel. I was blown away about the identity of the villain. I still can't stand Ms. H! She is so condescending and possessive of Lincoln. He is so not hers!!!! I am interested to see where the series will go next.

Since there were only 2 choices both of them will be the May BOTM.
