"The rest is just wishes and hope, the most fragile of things"

Hooolly guacamole.... I'm shook. Loved this one just as much as [b:An Ember in the Ashes|27774758|An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1)|Sabaa Tahir|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449158871s/27774758.jpg|39113604]. My feelings about Helene changed completely. I loved her point of view. Can't wait to get to know her better.
When I read, I usually tend to predict some parts of the book. But [a:Sabaa Tahir|7770873|Sabaa Tahir|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1390501945p2/7770873.jpg] books are different. I just can't and don't even try to predict them, because I know I'll fail miserably. When I started reading, I couldn't stop and pages just turned by themselves. I dived in to a brutal empire full of fantasy, mythical creatures, amazing characters and places. And that's why I love it.
After I read [b:An Ember in the Ashes|27774758|An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1)|Sabaa Tahir|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449158871s/27774758.jpg|39113604], the story stuck to me for a whole nother month. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I feel like it's going to be the same with this one too.
I can't say anything bad about this book, so it's 5 stars to me.

"Failure doesn't define you. It's what you do after you fail that determines whether you are a leader or a waste of perfectly good air."
