A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
2.0

I had pretty high hopes for this book since I really enjoyed the first in the series. Unfortunately, I thought that this one was much slower than the first and at times I got a bit bored. I just didn't feel like the book had enough "oomph." Kind of like the author rushed it. I just didn't care about the characters or anything that happened.

Still absolutely worth the read, but I would not reread this one.

Favorite lines:
I've shared it all. The words liberated me. Perhaps I have become so accustomed to the burden of secrets that I do not notice is weight until I am free of it.

Don't you see? So long as you fight the darkness, you stand in the light.

My mind orders me to stay silent, but my heart screams to be heard.

What point is there in being human if you don't let yourself feel anything?
