I really loved that we got to see more of the history before From Blood and Ash, I now understand a looot more than I did when I finished Crown of Gilded Bones. During the three books (FBAA, KoFaF & CoGB), there was just sooo much info that I didn't understand. But now I get a lot more and I pick up at small details from the prev books.

However, a Shadow in the Ember was pretty predictable. Don't get me wrong there was at least one huge plot twist, and I absolutely loved that! (When Sera understood that the rot wasn't because of the deal). But I at the same time started predicting all the other stuff that came wayyy later in the book - that she was Sotoria, that she was the Primal of Life and that she had to kill the Primal of Death, Kolis.

Nevertheless, a truly good book, tying everything together from FBAA triology, and still leaving some questions up for debate.
