A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir
5.0

5 out of 5.
.
This book broke my heart.especially The Elias part.when I started reading I anticipated that things will go badly for our heroes and boy i was not wrong.Laia and Elias separate in hope of reuniting someday,The Blood shrikes defeats the commander in a coast city only to be defeated by the barbarians when thet attack the capital,Laia finds out that cook is her mother and they try to steal Blood shrike rings because they think it is last piece of Star(Laila delivers The empress baby)only cook sacrifices herself so that after Nightbringer took helen’s mask the last piece of star and left her to die ,Laia saves her.but the most depressing part was Elias the way he was forced to left his humanity behinde and become the soul catcher and the way at the end he didn’t even care for Laia was heart wrenching.his last chapter was even named Soul Catcher instead of Elias.the only good thing that happen was Marcus death.

Sabaa Tahir writes in a way that you really care for the characters and you cant can’t put the book down.
