Maditales's Reviews > An Ember in the Ashes

How am I supposed to survive without reading the sequel right away (I have already started reading it)

I absolutely loved this. From the dark sides to the moral questions and betrayals, this book was filled with every emotion and made my brain tingle.

Laia’s willpower and determination made this book as amazing as it is. I was excited yet scared whenever Laia had to face certain challenges but was cheering and happy whenever she survived and fought back.
From the moment we got introduced to her, you could tell that this would be a heartbreaking journey with so many downs but the result was everything I could have wished for her. I hope that the sequel will give her the happiness and life she deserves.

Elias was also a very well thought out character. Not only did he have to face the morals he was taught, everything he fought for and people he cared about, he also had to fight against himself in almost every chapter.
His conflicts were so detailed and I was not ready to see him do what he did.
I cannot wait to see how his character will develop in book 2.

There were also soooo many side characters that I just loved. Everyone had a unique personality and I could not tell whether I should trust them or not. Throughout the entire book I just kept hoping and praying that my favorites would turn out good in the end.
I really wonder how book 2 will focus on one specific character because I hope they are coming back.

Overall this is a great fantasy book with a subplot of romance and a very detailed world.
This is definitely a very fast read with a hooking plot line.
