A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir

5.0

So many things were elucidated in this book that my mind is still reeling from it. Every little thing you felt in the first book is shown to have a reason behind it, and while I was a bit reluctant to Laia and Elias in the first book, their relationship is just really well developed. We see every character we saw in the last book, and meet some very interesting new ones. Each character is complex in their own way, I don't think anyone but the nameless martials are introduced as flat characters. Even Marcus seems to undergo further development. Overall, this was a really great read that clarified every nebulous detail about the last book, I loved it.
