An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

3.0

I really expected to like this book more. It was good, but I didn't feel terribly attached to any of the characters. I feel like for a story like this, you have to have characters that people really relate to. Laia and Elias are both just ok characters, but they feel really one dimensional with their struggles against societies oppression. Idk, maybe this just isn't the right story for me.
Also I just really had a hard time wrapping my mind around this whole mask attaching to people's face part.
