I found this book to be a bit predictable and some parts dragged, but it still held me to the end.

Idk what was up with a teenage me for thinking this was only 3 stars? I remember not liking Laia for being a coward for a major part of the book and Elias for being Elias. But now that I'm almost a decade older, I can honestly say that if someone told me that I was the spark that would bring about a revolution or something, I'd promptly unspark myself.

I very much enjoyed this book. The world building took a minute to comprehend but I am loving it. Very excited to see where this quadology goes.

Dear An Ember in the Ashes?
This is a great epic YA fantasy. I do have some recommendations if you are thinking of reading this.
1. Check TWs- it’s brutal, violent, and ruthless.
2. Prior to reading have a stockpile of spoons. This book will cost some and isn’t instant gratification.
3. Take your time. Details. Details. Details. Everything about this is intricate and it’s worth the commitment.
4. Have second book immediately available.

The killing blow is my release.
The only fault I find with this book are the characters themselves but I don't mean that in a negative way. I'm saying it was at times difficult to not get annoyed at the characters naivete but it made sense for them to be so. So I can't really find a fault with that rather it's the way it made me feel like suffering that I find fault with. In other words I'm salty but also really looking forward to the next book because this one was a lot of fun.
