An Ember in the Ashes

I started this book a few years ago and then decided I was done reading YA series until they were complete. So I put it down, but did not forget about it. My problem with series is that I'd read one and then a few years later either have to attack the sequel blindly or reread the first one again. Faced with that, I generally just give up on the series. So, when I heard the 3rd (and I thought, final) book was coming out in a month, I started this series.
First, I really liked it. It loses a star for getting bogged down in romance a bit. For the most part it has a fast pace similar to Hunger Games and characters that I really care about. The world building is excellent, truly excellent. I need to know more about Augers, pronto.
Second, I mostly listened to this on audio and the narrators were fantastic. That made the book even better.
Third, I now see a 4th book in the works. Sigh.
Plan foiled.
