"would that we all knew the cracked terrain of each other's broken hearts. perhaps then, we would not be so cruel to those who walk this lonely world with us."

i can’t believe it. after months of reading this series, suffering with these characters and growing to love them as my own children, it is done.

and truly, it couldn't have been more right.

this series is mind-blowing on many grounds, starting from my soul-deep attachment to each and every character to how immersive the whole experience was. among sabaa tahir's numerous talents as a writer, i feel, is how real the flesh of her stories feel. i can imagine this world and these characters as clear as day in my mind. i can picture this world existing, and these characters breathing. it really, honestly leaves me wonder-struck, how she managed to spin us such a story. it fills my mind with awe and my heart with enrapturement that she shared her vision with us. because it is breathtaking.

i have never felt such emotions reading a series before, and i have never been so captured by the plot of a story. and now, at least, i won't say that i never cried reading a book in school. i genuinely had to clench my jaw to keep from making inhumane noises during my stolen bits of reading time in class.

laia, elias and helene. my three broken heroes. they each occupy a different chamber of my heart and will for many years to come, i imagine. i didn't always like helene, but she's proven herself and has won my admiration like no other. elias continues to live in my heart, as he always has. and laia has managed to turn the tables so that i have no choice but to love her and root for her.

"emifal firdaant - may death claim me first."

my ranking of the books are, i think, like this:
1) a torch against the night
2) an ember in the ashes
3) a sky beyond the storm
4) a reaper at the gates

I’m not ready for this series to be over! I’ve procrastinated like nobody’s business and now it’s time. (Mainly because the library due date is coming up fast.) Also, side note: listening to the audiobook of these has been a pleasure. Not only do you get the correct pronunciation of the names, the voice actors are phenomenal. I love all the voices and accents that brought even minor characters to life. I highly recommend supplementing with the audiobooks!

There are zero ways to give a synopsis of the plot without spoilers, so you all get stream of consciousness while I’m reading the last book in the Ember in the Ashes series. I know, I know. You’re welcome. (Who let Maui in here!?)

Yay! Cute chonky emperor baby!

Soul Catcher- get your head out of your rear end. You know how to spot a trap! (It’s a trap!)

A new player has entered the arena! Who are you mysterious stranger!

Ofc there’s a massive abyss of misery fueled by suffering.

Laia, pls stop running into obvious traps. Kthxbai.

Ew. Karkauns are gross.

Well well well. We do learn more about the Nightbringer’s past! Very interesting!

Omg, Helene… throw poor Harper a bone, would you!?

Father!?!? FATHER! What!?!?!?

A queen!?!? Wife!?!? There was a wife!?

Way to bury the lede!

Angry Laia is my favorite Laia.

I snorted audibly startling my husband and the pets at this exchange:

“The river that did this to you. I don’t like it.”

“Are you going to find the bad river, Elias? Make it pay?”

Avitas Harper is a distraction. Yes ma’am he is. You should do something about that.

Livia wearing that throne like she was born there!

Omfg…FINALLY!

There he is! (Sorry to any Crowns of Nyaxia readers, but I had to!)

No.

Nononononononononono.

“How long since anyone offered him comfort?” My heart is breaking.

“The Mother watches over them all.”

I’m not crying. You’re crying.

It’s beautiful. I would not wish for a different ending. It’s perfect. It’s everything it needs to be and everything it should be. I’m only sad that it’s over.
