A Torch Against the Night (Ember Quartet, Book 2)

Product Information

Elias continues to struggle with the poison, and despite a sandstorm, they finally reach Nur. Wanted posters for Elias and Laia are everywhere. They find a woman named Afya, a tribe leader, who Elias calls in a favor from. He asks her to take them to the prison and help them rescue Laia’s brother. Reluctantly, she agrees. This book was supposed to have this final battle. It was supposed to be the end to a wonderful series. It was supposed to be heartbreaking. It was supposed to make me feel. Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory--or to an unimaginable doom. And then there is joy, and happiness, and family, and love. Sometimes it is so hard to separate the two warring sides in your head, of good versus evil. Sometimes it is so hard to see the good when your heart only knows the loss and the pain. That's how it was for me with A Sky Beyond the Storm. I wanted so badly to let this book shatter my entire soul (which it did). But I also had to remember the beautiful parts, no matter how much it broke me and tore my soul apart.

What is inside this book? Life. Love. Friendship. Loyalty. Pain. Death. Grief. But also so much more. So much that I don't think I'll ever be ready to talk about, because it just hurts so much, and the wound is still fresh and still bleeding and I need a break. I need to step away from this for awhile and gather my head. Helene finds Laia and aides her with directions. Helene decides to leave Elias to his fate to go warn Marcus of a coup that the Commandant is planning. She is going to declare herself impress. Harper says he is no longer a spy for the Commandant. He was tasked to kill Helene but he will not. As much as too many emotions are being tried to force feed while narrating the story, the more shallow the reading became. The writing tried too hard I guess. And the characters were too desperate to become into ones who tried to feel emotions. Like just too damn obvious. I wish the impression of all these characters remained the same as in the first two books.NO. I hated this. I hated it so much that I almost threw my device in frustration. (was reading the e-book) Shelva, the previous Soul Catcher had to wait thousands of years before she passed the role onto Ellais. And Mira can get it so easily? Just like that? And all kinds of chemistry weakened. Even the feeling of dread for the unstable moments and evil characters were totally missing. Whatever character development needed for the story to end well is missing.

Beside me, Elias releases another blade from its sheath. His shoulders are relaxed, his hands loose around the knives. But when I catch sight of his face—brows furrowed, jaw tight—my heart clenches. He meets my gaze, and for a breath, I see his anguish. He does not wish to deliver death to these men.A simple movement full of menace. A reminder that he is not just my guide. He is Elias Veturius, heir to one of the Empire’s finest families. He is a former Mask—an elite soldier of the Martial Empire. And he is my ally—the only person who can help me save my brother, Darin, from a notorious Martial prison. Laia. Her naivete comes this moment about with bigger impacts in addition to an unusual expedition that likewise I had no tip was probably to take place. I had numerous ideas as well as likewise at one aspect I thought I had really exposed the fact as well as likewise a little reprimanded Tahir for doing something adage. Yet no chance! I was happily confirmed incorrect. I’m just going to say it… this book was full of so much Sexual Tension, it was painfully but I loved every single minute of it. I said what I said. Helene figures out that they are going to travel to Nur where Elias’s relatives live. She gathers a legion to follow. a b Breznican, Anthony (September 2, 2016).
