"One" by Mary J Blige
📚Favorite Quotes
" You are broken. But it is broken things that are the sharpest. The deadliest. It is broken things that are the most unexpected and the most underestimated.
" I wish I could love you a thousand lives so ao could fall in love with you a thousand times.
" Where there is life, there is hope."
👩🏾🏫 My review
I wait three 3 years to start this book - I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the characters. However, this was an absolutely stunning ending of amazing series. This book explored and showed how power, greed, vengeance, grief, hurt, trauma, anger, and hopefulness could destory a people, a land, and the world. So many parts to this story reminded me of current events today. Maybe I am extrapolating things, but war is the same no matter where or written-- loss of life is guaranteed. Yet, hope, love, and mercy remained.
Sabaa Tahir makes you feel so many emotions for the characters, even the villains. I started to feel for Meherya and even Keris as they both endured pain and commitment to outstanding crimes. It was like the saying goes, " Hurt to people, hurt people."
It opened and allowed me to reflect on forgiveness, healing, and comfort after trauma. I finish that book with a clear understanding of the nuances of why hope is crucial - because it gives us the drive to live, to do, and to love with all your heart.
Though so much death occurred in the book, broken families, love lost--- I was happy Helen Aquilla, Elias Ventrius, and Laia of Serra survived together. What an ending to amazing series.
💜What I loved
● Pacing
●Fighting scene
●High stakes
●The imagery of Mercy ( Rehmat)
● Lessons of Hope and Love
●The return of the Lioness
●Healing
If you haven't read Sabaa Tahir's master piece quartet, " An Ember in the Ashes," you are missing out on an amazing story.
