AN EMBER IN THE ASHES

An Ember in the Ashes......

This was truly an amazing book....too close now to my heart.....as it was the first fantasy book I read after Harry Potter. It's been almost 10 years since Harry Potter and I was not sure whether I would love fantasy. Now I know the answer....I love fantasy genre. This book opened my eyes.

So now you guys know my love for this book. So now let's talk about the book. This book deals with 2 main characters....a fearless boy and a scared girl, both fighting for the same thing....freedom. This story deals with revolution and tells in depth about the struggles of both the oppressed as well as the oppressor. This book made me feel for the characters, made me understand their life, their sufferings as well as their hopes. The fantasy of this book is just an introduction to what will be continued in the following books of the series. Here we get to know the characters, their attitudes and their situations.....it's the next books in which the story is going to unfold. The story has a great kick start with lots of questions and anticipations that I hope will be answered in the upcoming books...

Love Sabba Tahir's writing style and the way in which she unfolds the tale. Her way if telling this tale is really awesome as she leaves us guessing at the end of each chapter and each chapter is a continuation of the last one. I was not be able to keep the book aside for even one minute and untill the end I praying for them to be saved.
Too exited to start the next one.
