A review by taliadevereaux
A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir

5.0

I loved this book even more than the first. Laia and Elias are still great protagonists. I loved that we got POV chapters from Helene because she's one of the characters I found most interesting in book one. I want to know more about the Waiting Place and Shaeva. Still waiting to know more about the Augurs, too. I want to know if I'm right about them. 

Sabaa continues her trend of mercilessly killing people off and ruining my life. I won't spoil who dies, but I really fooled myself into thinking they'd be safe because I'm too used to books where authors are scared to kill off likable characters. 

THE PLOT TWIST THO WITH THE NIGHTBRINGER AND THE SILVER. I KNEW I SMELLED A RAT. I KNEWWWW IT. AND I KNEW I DIDN'T TRUST THAT BASTARD FOR A REASON. 

I definitely hate Marcus way more in this book than I did in the last. Like bro, what is your pROBLEMMMM? Same with Keris. Like girl, who hurt you? Why are you like this? 

10/10
