my favourite book so far of the ember quartet. helene's chapters are my favourite to read n i loved all of the politicking and war, unpop opinion but i really don't care for the romantic relationships 😭 i know the yearning was meant to cause me pain but i just preferred the other aspects of the plot. the twist with cook had me gobsmacked good job miss tahir. lots of very emotional moments n i hope to see more of laia & helene bonding in the final book love my main ladies sm. eek such a good dark war torn high fantasy series
