Fantastic read! I read most of this book on Audible and it was so much fun. The world and its military focus was really interesting, and then I liked the small touch of fantasy with the Augurs and different supernatural creatures/beings. I liked the development of the characters and just ahhh, so much <3 Full Review to come!

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

I felt like it was too YA for me from the getgo, but had potential. Until I got to Chapter X, there was a weird scene with Hel and Elies I just can't look past. Just not for me!

“La punta de mi espada es mi sacerdote. La danza de la muerte es mi plegaria. El golpe de gracia es mi liberación“.
He disfrutado muchísimo esta lectura! 4 ⭐️ para Una Llama en las Cenizas.
Laia es una joven de diecisiete años que lo pierde todo y huye tras una redada que termina en la muerte de sus abuelos y el arresto de su hermano.
A sus veinte años, Elias está a punto de graduarse en la academia militar Risco Negro, hijo de una de las familias más influyentes del Imperio y cuyo deseo es desertar, aunque esté penado con la muerte.
El destino de ambos se entrelaza cuando Laia se infiltra en Risco Negro como esclava para obtener informacion para la Resistencia y Elias se ve obligado a participar en una serie de pruebas a muerte para ser el próximo Emperador.
Un inicio de saga muy potente que me ha dejado con ganas de leer el segundo libro.
