An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

4.0

This was a such a good story and beginning of an epic fantasy series. It was brutal and dark and I couldn’t put it down once I got into it. I liked the romance and how it was sprinkled in and not the main focus (but with like 2 different love triangles it did get to be a bigger focus later on). I could’ve done without the constant fear Laia had to have about being raped or killed and all, but it made the perilous setting more with authentic.
