BOOK THREE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES

"Thrilling and hard to put down, readers will absolutely devour Tahir's latest." --BuzzFeed

An Entertainment Weekly Summer Reads pick!

"The perfect summer read." --The Washington Post

The highly anticipated third book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sabaa Tahir's EMBER QUARTET.

Beyond the Martial Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.

Helene Aquilla, the Blood Shrike, is desperate to protect her sister's life and the lives of everyone in the Empire. But she knows that danger lurks on all sides: Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable and violent, while Keris Veturia, the ruthless Commandant, capitalizes on the Emperor's volatility to grow her own power--regardless of the carnage she leaves in her path.

Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court, but in stopping the Nightbringer. But in the hunt to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would help her, and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.

And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that demands his complete surrender--even if that means abandoning the woman he loves.

Die letzten 100 Seiten haben es nochmal spannend gemacht. Jetzt muss ich wohl doch direkt Band 4 lesen. Die Entwicklungen waren interessant, besonders Elias hat sich verändert. Ansonsten war es ein solides Fantasybuch und ein solider 3. Band, habe wenig zu meckern, aber bin auch nicht begeistert. Finde es sehr schwierig die Reihe zu bewerten und einzuschätzen.

Einfach Wahnsinn!

Diese Reihe ist so verdammt gut. Die letzten 150 Seiten haben mich kaum atmen lassen... Unglaublich gut

What in the hell was that? I just didn‘t care for pretty much the entire plot, Laia and Elias were just straight up boring. Laia‘s storyline actually annoyed me, how many times will she try saving the Scholars and fail. Gaaah. I enjoyed Helene‘s, excuse me, the Blood Shrike‘s storyline though. I freaking hope she kills the Commandant in the last book, cause boy oh boy that woman pissed me the fuck off. 🙃 That‘s pretty much the only reason for me to read the last book at this point, just so that I can see that scene. I didn‘t like how Sabaa Tahir introduced the whole Adisa storyline with the king & Musa etc and then had no resolution of that whatsoever. As far as I know, the city was also supposed to be attacked, I don‘t even know the book was so confusing at times (or I‘m just dumb). We could have easily dealt without that storyline. Why did we spend the entire 2nd book saving Darin just so that he can a.) be the most annoying & overprotective character ever and b.) be mainly ignored throughout the whole book. Some more things I actually liked: the Livia storyline, Marcus‘s (kinda) redemption in the end, his death lol, Helene freaking Aquilla (yes, I already said that), Helene ripping off her mask (although I really don‘t wanna imagine that too vividly) and last but not least Harper! Overall, the book had its moments but all in all, this just felt like a filler book. Nothing really happened, the Karkauns and their sudden appearance confused me real hard and I wasn‘t a big fan of the way the magic system developed (ghosts, really?).

“Hope is stronger than fear. It is stronger than hate.” It is with a heavy heart that I need to rate a book in this series with less than 5 stars. Seriously, I am disappointed that I didn't love this! Just looking at how long it took me to read this (over a week) signalizes the struggles I had with this book. If I love a book, I usually finish it in two or three days. With this book, I often fell asleep after 40 pages... Luckily somebody told me this wasn't the last book; I would have been so disappointed. As the quote says: hope is stronger than everything. This book however felt hopeless. Not a single thing went right here, and while yes, of course there needs to be an opposition, just one plan going right would have made this book a satisfying read. All the defeat and pain made the book drag a lot for me... What I liked: I love Helena. She is a character I admire, she goes through a lot, but is still standing. Her evolution is extraordinary, and she finally deserves some happiness. I really hope the last book will be able to grip me more, and make the connection between me and Elias, Laia and Hel come back again!

4,75 stars I really enjoyed this third installment in the series. I feel like the stakes were RAISED in this book, and I loved it. I hate nothing more than a book where you already know that everything is going to be resolved at the end, but this book really made me super anxious for the characters and their fates. I feel like the characters grew even more since the last book, and their roles in their stories are much more pronounced, and intricate now, which I LOVED. This book reminded me why I love Fantasy books so much. This world is so vast and fascinating, I loved it!

Every book in this series is just as good as the last. Intrigues and armed conflicts, known enemies and new allies, supernatural elements and human relationships, every part of this story is so well done. I don't really know what to say, except that this is so so so so good.
