An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

5.0

I read this book for the first time July 2020. At the time, I was wanting to get back into reading at the synopsis is what prompted me to read it. I fell in love with the characters immediately. I was engrossed in the story from the beginning and this series kickstarted my drive back into reading. I am on my third reread through the series (and likely my last, for a while). The third reread of the first book was so fun. I was dragged back into this world, fell in love all over again with Laia and Elias and their relationship. The character development for these characters and Helene and going back to the beginning reminds me of their journey and how much each other characters will have to go through in the upcoming books.
