Stakes Get Higher and the Empire Gets More Evil

A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir

February 15, 2020 by Jenny S Leave a Comment

I read, An Ember in the Ashes, the first book of Sabaa Tahir’s fantasy series while on vacation in January and it hit all my fantasy sweet spots.  It was nice to know that I had two more books to go before I caught up and had to wait like everybody else for Book 4.

I remember for sure that I did like it, although not quite as much as I liked the first one. What can I say, I like bright, shiny new things. One thing I will say, I’m not entirely sure where this story is going, and that feels good. Tahir made a bunch of […]
