An Ember in the Ashes is what I would describe as a grimdark fantasy. Slavery, violence, brutality, betrayal. An Empire with a stranglehold on the populace and a brutal military school sets the stage for a a dark, tense and rather enjoyable read
So many of the scenes and descriptions of what some of these characters have to endure brings out so much in the way of feelings of empathy. I found myself really caring about the characters and hoping to see them succeed.
If you are a fan of grimdark I feel like you will enjoy this one

This book was a typical Robert Langdon symboligist story filled with fast paced action packed adventure shall we say.
As much fun as I had reading this book, its hard to give it a great rating mainly because I found the plot predictable and the shocking reveals were quite frankly not that shocking. Where did we come from, Where are we going?
These question and the big revelations surrounding them were not all that shocking at all and easily predictable I found even for those who don't have a strong foundation in scientfic way of thinking.
While the book was not terrible, it was fast paced, full of actions and a fun ride, its predictability of who did what and when just makes it hard for me to give a glowing review

This book is full of ludicrous crazy ideas that do not comport with reality in anyway
That however is part of the fun of this book. It is for sure not character driven nor does it have any character development in any real way but it is full of adventure and a fun imaginitve ideas of what it is like in the center of the earth long before we knew anything about the actual make up of the earths crust or world
From underground oceans, to dinosaurs and prehistoric plants this book was honeslty entertaining.
That being said it is a bit dry in the writing style at times and the characters were a bit 2D, so it loses marks there but love the imagination behind this epic adventure, overall good, not great or amazing but good

For myself as this book is closely tied to my work it was a very interesting read and helped give me significant insight and anaylsis behind the headlines of one of the biggest mergers and aquitsitions in canadian history all while Rogers communications was going through significant changes to its top leadership over a 2-3 yr period in the wake of Ted Rogers death, the company patriarch and the one who started it all.
Its a good read if you are interested in corporate governance
