A Torch Against the Night

A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I feel like very often the second book in a series is just kind of a filler book, but that's not the case with this one.

I loved the additional perspective in this book, and the storyline progressed quickly.

There were twists I didn't see coming, and I loved how the ending wasn't the typical 'introduce some magic to solve all the problems and everyone's happy'.

Definitely going to grab the third book as soon as it comes out.

An Ember in the Ashes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Re-read 2017:

I so wanted to read the second book in the series before the 3rd comes out next year, but I really didn't remember anything about this book except that I loved it.

Upon re-reading I remember now why I loved it so much. Both points of view were captivating and had me hooked. I loved how the same scene was occasionally told in both perspectives.

While I could poke some holes in the story or world building being unbelievable, or using some lazy writing tactics to progress the plot in a direction it wouldn't go otherwise... I don't want to since it was so flipping entertaining.

I need to read the next book now and the third needs to come out ASAP, cuz I can't get enough.
