An Ember in the Ashes

gaby_p shared a tip "I’ll be honest... The Ember in the Ashes (^^) wasn’t as good as I hoped it to be. While it was a great read and it was written well, etc, I guess it was a bit slow. If not slow, then insufficient? I’m not sure how to describe it. But I do think it’s worth reading the series! I mean, I’ve only read the first and second, but the second gets a lot better and I’m sure the series as a whole is amazing! It’s plot and just certain elements of it aren’t cliche which is good. You get the unexpected"

daro_swee shared a tip "Why is this listed as juvenile fiction? It should be YA sci-fi fantasy. This was slow in parts and may have suffered from high expectations from all the hype but I still enjoyed it. Only read the first book and not sure why I haven't read anymore in the series."

sandra_el-faki shared a tip "Sabaa is a phenomenal story teller. This book instantly grabs your attention and your concern & affection for the main characters is immediate."

camilliant shared a tip "This is my absolute favorite series now. I haven't been able to read anything else yet because I'm still processing/obsessing over this. Some of the most romantic, beautiful character development I've ever read."

suckerxjonasbrotherx shared a tip "I just finished rereading this book & I absolutely fell in love with it all over again as I’m sure I’ll will with the other books in the series"

hannah_elam shared a tip "This book took me about 3 weeks just because of school and because there were some slow parts in the book that I got stuck on but it is a super fun read and also has multiple perspectives in the book."

alishatru272 shared a tip "An interesting world with interesting characters. Is not super innovative or different, but still a good story, well told. I think i would have binged this series if I didn't have to wait on book 3, but I might recommend stopping after reading book 2 anyway."

crazycrackhead shared a tip "I’m loving it ends with us by Colleen Hoover I just started reading it actually and take my hand by dolen perkins-Valdez and the love hypothesis by Ali hazelwood"

rw_kadri shared a tip "I’m re-reading this with @deanna_kadri and I can’t believe how amazing it is! I loved it when it first came out and I love it even more now!! A MUST READ!! 😍😍 #fantasy_and_magic #yafiction #yafantasy #youngadult #books"

selah_royer shared a tip "It's a pretty typical YA dystopian fiction/romance. It is full of tropes, but I enjoyed it! I wish the second book was as good as the first 🙁"

melia_lin shared a tip "Amazing book. I was doubtful at first. But this proved itself to be worth it. My fav rn. Switches between 2 characters, completely different yet the same. Torture, love, determination. Everything I love."

victoria_ziegler shared a tip "That's a hard one. I have so many. Sarah J. Maas' series A Court of Thorns and Roses is pro ably.one of my top favorites and is what got me into reading all the time."

krysta_t. shared a tip "This series had me hooked from the beginning. Strong characters with levels and levels of complexity and history. Sibling love and loyalty, family loyalty and betrayal, friendships that go deep, relationships that are tested, children carved from the world they were brought in to, a world paying for past mistakes, and so much creativity when it comes to the dystopian world. I will reread this series for years."

elisha_gudino shared a tip "This book is amazing af! I recommend for fans of The Hunger Games, The Selection, and distopian novels in general! 😉❤️🤩#distopian #action #romance"

ashton-kate_wilson shared a tip "I love that the characters are so beautifully flawed. The plot twisted and turned from the beginning to the end, keeping me on the edge of my seat for the entire ride. I can't wait to read the next book in the series."

aaliyah_v shared a tip "This book is amazing. Simply explaining it doesn’t do it justice, but just know that the descriptions are beautiful and the relationships between characters are both heart warming and heart breaking. Definitely a recommendation, especially since there are 4 more books!"

makayla_m_isaac_mar shared a tip "Best book I have ever read really is a a world of imagination can’t believe everything I could possibly dream of is in just one book!💛"

alec_morgenstern shared a tip "Honestly this series is my new favorite. There were times it was slow, but those moments were good breaks in between the action scenes. I can’t wait to read more from Tahir. Her writing style is absolutely fantastic."

anabelle_leclerc shared a tip "Sure! I love the silent patient and dr.death it's very interesting and those books have suspens. It was really cool to read those!📚📖"

alexandria_summers shared a tip "@turnergray1 Rn I'm just looking for a good series to fall into. I've got a bunch of firsts to read like the gunslinger, sword of Shannara, and the sum of all men. Got any other recommendations?"

raina_topiwala shared a tip "This book sold me to fantasy, Sabaa Tahir has an amazing writing style! There are strong characters that you would love and a strong protagonist! I definitely recommend it"

jessica_hope_2517 shared a tip "I liked The Starless Sea by Erin Morganstin. FuryBorn Series (though I have yet to read the last book in the series). Cereal by Miller. I have The Selection series that I just bought but I haven't read it yet"

amanda_voegeli shared a tip "The whole book is a don't put down till down book. You want to know everything and that it all works out you end up on the end your seat asking so many questions."

rajvi_devani shared a tip "I love this writing style. It was everything I want in a book. The character development and world building is strong and enticing. Absolutely fabulous."

sandra_dee_1822 shared a tip "An unforgettable story, it will definitely cause you some pain, but I am absolutely in love. I can’t wait to dive into the other three books."

tasha_chan shared a tip "It's a pretty alright book all in all. Thehe most engaging character has to be the male lead (he's the one who got me through the book he's just super interesting) in the book sense he has some really awesome driving motivations in spite of his gruelling circumstance. The female lead and our main character is a bit less likeable and is amazingly incompetent (probably due to her being portrayed as an "average"girl), but I assume that is something to be built up on and made better by character development in further books to come. Both characters are perpetually ***** for (almost) anyone but are too prudish to do anything about it (we already know the main leads are going to end up together so please why make it anymore weird). Plot is pretty engaging regarding the rebellion, however what makes it mediocre is that there is only one main setting from the start of the book. It's such an infuriatingly dull place to begin what should be an epic, but that's just my opinion."

lauralyn_nez shared a tip "The storyline is very engulfing. I completely forgot I was reading and felt like I was in the story. Very good highly recommended"

crvdible shared a tip "i really liked the first book! but it was a biiitttt slow paced so at times i did put the book down. overall it was a very good read and was written really well, though i do have to say it did frustrate me while reading. i suppose that was the point though, to feel the same frustration that the fem!mc did while trying to find information and help her brother simultaneously."

megan_moss_1206 shared a tip "Honestly, I haven't read it, I thought I was adding it to my list for a potential read, I didnt understand when I started using this app sorry! Have you read this?"
