This is just as good as From Blood and Ash…too much so. Sadly, A Shadow in the Ember is basically FBAA with new names for the characters; too many scenes and character dynamics are recycled. I'm still giving ASITE 4.5 stars, just as I gave FBAA 4.5 stars (both rounded up to 5 stars on Goodreads), because it really is an enjoyable read, especially if you haven't read the Blood and Ash series yet. However, ASITE is decidedly less enjoyable than FBAA due to its lack of originality.
