This is the final instalment of Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes series. And if you've read the previous books from the series, you already know that Sabaa is an author who likes to torment her characters, but also likes to give some hope, some romance, and a lot of pain.

Sabaa is a great storyteller and a talented writer. She creates this world and characters that feel so real, the story flowing like silk and is easy to read. But be prepared for a few heartbreaks! I still mourn two particular deaths ... seriously, why did they have to die?

My favourite character is Helene. She's brave, strong, determined, and fiercely loyal. Before I even started reading the book, I knew I wanted her to have the happy ending that she so truly deserves.

Despite by heartbreak, I still love how this series ended. I love all the characters, including the Nightbringer, and appreciate what happens to him in the end. I appreciate the message of hope, love and humanity.

This is one of those series that will stay with me for a long time.
