An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

5.0

If you like YA fantasy you should read this. It's fast-paced, realistic in its emotions and feelings, and interesting in its mix of military, historical, and fantastical.

If you liked Hunger Games, you'll almost certainly like it. If you liked the Mortal Instruments series, this is better so far (less teenage angst and more genuine).

I'm looking forward to the next book in the series
