Le prix du sang

Sabaa Tahir

4.16 AVERAGE


This continuation of the Ember series had me still loving Elias and Laia, and being heartbroken about
Spoiler the fact that they're being forcibly separated. I'm still hopeful that they can be reunited, even though it seems hopeless right now.


I loved the focus on Helene in this book, with her warring loyalties, and family issues conflicting with her required loyalty to the empire. She's a villain-coded character who doesn't want to do wrong, and I loved getting to know her better.

Wow. wow. wow. Sabaa Tahir has done it again - thrilling, complex & dynamic, with cliffhangers at the end of every chapter! With each new book, this series gets better and better. As soon as I wake up tomorrow I’ll be starting the final book, but I’m going to be so sad when I have to leave this world.

4.3/5⭐️
the reason this book gets a high rating is because of: helene and harper. i absolutely love them. i literally cannot say anything more about it. helene better redeem herself.
also because of shock at cook being mirra, i absolutely did NOT see it coming i was SHOCKED. the mask thing with helene as well. i cannot say i particularly cared for the catcher chapters but other than that it was a good book. i might read the last one
