An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
5.0
This is one of those books that I found myself easily getting hooked to and wanting to read "just another chapter".
The world and plot initially can seem a bit generic for a fantasy setting but it's very well explored with drastic viewpoints that really makes everything feel a lot more real and gives the characters a lot more personality and growth.
The characters are all unique in their own way and all have different conflicts and interests that really contrasts/aligns with each other but for me personally I really loved all the interactions between every character and their relationships and it was very well characterized that it made all the plot twists and cliffhangers that much more tense.
The character development was also a big highlight, it was so natural and there was so much progress made for each character that I'm excited to read the rest of the books.
There's little i can say I didn't like but I did find that whilst it's easy to get immersed, there's often moments a character is suddenly in a different environment/scene in the next sentence or within the same sentence with no or little to any transition which made it feel a little abrupt at times but other than that I really enjoyed this book.
