Summary
 Set in a terrifyingly brutal Rome-like world, An Ember in the Ashes is an epic fantasy debut about an orphan fighting for her family and a soldier fighting for his freedom. It’s a story that’s literally burning to be told.

LAIA is a Scholar living under the iron-fisted rule of the Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire’s greatest military academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim that they will help to save her brother from execution.

ELIAS is the academy’s finest soldier— and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the military, but before he can, he’s ordered to participate in a ruthless contest to choose the next Martial emperor.

When Laia and Elias’s paths cross at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either could have imagined and that their choices will change the future of the empire itself. Action & Adventure Fantasy Literature & Fiction Science Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy

L’histoire n’est pas du déjà vu, la romance est à peine là mais on sent qu’elle va se développer dans les autres livres, les plots twists sont géniaux, la complexité des personnages est vraiment bien faite, le world building est complexe mais assez bien fait pour qu’on ne se perde pas… bref j’ai ADORÉ ! Je crois que c’est ma nouvelle YA fantasy préférée, hâte de lire la suite !!

Rafraîchissant !

I chose to reread this book through audio. The story was not much of a surprise to me, but even though I’ve read this book twice before I got swept away by the characters, the storyline, the stakes…
It’s truly a testament to how good this book is and how great of an author Sabaa Tahir is that you can fall in love with a story repeatedly and never feel like you’re bored once. An ember in the ashes keeps you enthralled.
As for the narration, my previous encounters with this book were strictly on paper. I think that both of the narrators did such an amazing job bringing the characters and the story to life.
The audio format really gives you more insight and more depth to the characters feelings. Both Laia’s and Elias’ portrayals were really well rendered.

Enchanting !
