Description
KEENAN IS ANNOYING AS HELL(not sorry Keenan/Laia shippers). TAKE HIM AND HIS FLARING BRIGHT ASS RED HAIR OUTTA HERE. If you thought the first book was brutal.. this one is a million times worse. I felt like the first book talked about and promised a lot of horrors, but in this one it all comes to life. It is war and everyone is fighting for their own, and there are no rules or limits as to how they do it. Everyone is fighting dirty, and it is absolutely terrifying. I look to the little boy in his arms. Ayan. Tiny dark crescents curve beneath his lower lashes. His eyes meet mine, and I touch his cheek, soft and round. He should be innocent. But he’s seen things no child should. Who will he be when he grows up? What will all this violence make him? Will he survive? Not another forgotten child with a forgotten name, I plead. Not another lost Scholar. An Ember in the Ashescould launch Sabaa Tahir into JK Rowling territory…It has the addictive quality ofTheHunger Gamescombined with the fantasy ofHarry Potterand the brutality ofGame of Thrones.”— Public Radio International

It was a really interesting concept and how he figures certain things out. His time there and with certain people nearly ripped my heart into pieces. His relationship with Maime was just ADORABLE, and the fact he took no shit from Afya when collecting, I was like YOU TELL EM’! Elias continues to struggle with the poison, and despite a sandstorm, they finally reach Nur. Wanted posters for Elias and Laia are everywhere. They find a woman named Afya, a tribe leader, who Elias calls in a favor from. He asks her to take them to the prison and help them rescue Laia’s brother.
