A review by jennabenna
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
medium-paced
3.75
This was a good first book in the series. The world, main characters, and conflict are set up well. I found the slow pace if Laia's personal growth to be frustrating, and Elias to be a little too "perfect". I didnt love the dumb choices the characters (especially Laia) kept making. But I am optimistic for continued growth from the characters, so I cant wait to read the next two books now that the plot has really gotten going!
Graphic: Death, Gore, and Violence
Moderate: Genocide and Slavery
Minor: Rape, Murder, and War
