I have completely surrendered to this series.
Yes it took me forever to even pick this second book up but the important part is that I did it, I read it, and I absolutely loved it!
It's fast-paced, it has twists we do not expect coming, and the writing is pure pleasure to read!
The story is so, so fantastic. It's clever, develops with attention to detail, there's character growth, plot development, a villain to love to hate, a super slow burn romance that keeps making us dream for more, and the setting of this story is at the same time brutally devastating and full of hope.
The Ember Quartet has everything to be one of my all time favourite book series ever. So far it has not disappoint in any way.
