![]() I didn’t even notice the forced similes and metaphors during my first two reads of this book. However, that was not the case from the start. Don’t get me wrong by the end, the lyrical prose was beautiful and worked in naturally. My biggest problem with this book was the writing style. I was just as involved in the story and ready to see where it took me, rather than waiting for specific moments, as happens in many rereads. I was able to get through this book for the third time without ever feeling bored, which is a true testament to Tahir’s writing ability. A year apart from this world caused me to lose the intricate knowledge I once had about the characters and storyline. I reread An Ember in the Ashes right before I read A Torch Against the Night and believe me, I tried to skip the first book and only reread the second before reading A Reaper At the Gates. I reread because I honestly didn’t remember enough about this complex world to continue with the series. ![]() None of my rereads were to relive the magic, per se. I have loved this book every time I’ve read it. ![]() This was actually my third time reading this book. Today I am going to be reviewing An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. ![]()
