An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
4.0

This was an amazing read! The story itself was fast paced from page one. As the storyline developed I began to think that it was going to be predictable... Though, in the end, I was very happily proved wrong! The characters in this story were lovely! It was another case where I either absolutely loved or despised each character, there wasn't an in-between. And oh my goodness was this book dark. The things that the commandment does and says were insane.

Favorite lines:
"A heated, visceral shock flares through me at the clarity of her dark gold eyes. For a second, I forget my name."

"I stare at her, realize I'm staring, tell myself to stop staring, and then keep staring. My breath falters, and my body, traitor that it is, tugs me forward until there are only inches between us."

"Fear is only your enemy if you allow it to be."
