An Ember in the Ashes

Impossible to put down. Fast paced and exciting, the stakes are always high so there was never a dull moment with this story. It was as action-packed as heart-wrenching. The writing was top tier and i was astonished by the brilliant storytelling and how each chapter was tailored to grip my attention.

As far as the characters go, they were all intriguing and multilayered. I enjoyed Elias' chapters more than Laia's, the internal conflicts he faces throughout the book interested more than the rebellious themes Laia's story conveyed, and besides, Helene alone is worth 5 stars.
