An Ember in the Ashes

​An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahiris an amazing book. I cannot tell you enough praises for this book. I’m actually sad that I did not discover this book sooner. This book was a definite cover buy though, the new updated covers are beautiful, they are simple, but beautiful and they show you the characters. I looked up the first cover and I would have never picked up the book because the cover was not interesting. Once I started this book, I could not put it down and that is because it is finals season and I should have been studying (its fine, I’ll pass.)
            I just adore Laia. She is not your average heroine and that’s why I like her. She runs away when her only remaining family member is in danger and she is on the run till she can find someone that will help her. She constantly talks about how scared she is when she is in these dangerous situations. and as the story goes on she becomes able to use her fear to push through and accomplish her tasks.
            I loved getting to see Laia and Elias’s point of view, but I did not like when we saw other characters point of view. I felt it took away from the story and was not necessary. 
            I really liked to love story between Laia and Elias. I really didn’t like the rebel group, I knew they were shady and not to be trusted from the very beginning.
            Everyone should try to read this book; the beginning might be a little slow but the story picks up and will be hard to put down. I just loved this book and can’t wait to read the next one!

Obsidio- The Illuminae Files_03

           I finally got around to finishing this book. It was the last book in the trilogy and I was both relived and disappointed with this book. I am glad that all the main characters got happy endings and the bad guys were put away. But the story progressed way to fast I and felt like the story line was not well developed.
         The story felt very rushed and there were to many points of view to juggle between. I really didn’t get the chance to get to know the new characters. Some of the plots were predictable and not expected from a book whose predecessors had exceeded my expectations.
          I am really glad that all the Illuminae group got some happy endings. Most of the books that I read these days do not end happy or are not currently with any ending (Throne of Glass :( ) 
         It just took me a really long time to read this book. It may have something to do with me not reading the last book in any series, so it will not be over, but this book was really hard to read. But I will still recommend this book to my friends because it’s a great trilogy.
