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

A Torch Against the Night is simply the superior YA Fantasy of the year. Hands down, there's no competition. Medina, Anna (September 29, 2016). "Sabaa Tahir spins a multifaceted tale". Palo Alto Weekly . Retrieved July 11, 2021. Elias touches my shoulder and points to his feet, then mine. Step where I step. So carefully that I fear to breathe, I mimic him as he turns and heads swiftly away from the voices.

Goodreads Summary:

it's a rough ride - there's a lot of blood, a lot of horrific casualties of revolution and ambition, a lot of sacrifice for the good of the empire: I know I just mentioned Tas, but when he slapped Elias and was like You named me, I want to hear my name on other peoples lips I was SCREAMING

I have the biggest soft spot EVER for Tas, like come on, how could I not?! THEN we have Elias consoling him, it was too sweet! THIS. I love this so much. This is slowly becoming a well loved series, like one of my favourites... A good chunk of the book is a perusal. Granted, the protagonists did escape a rather messy situation last time round, but the chase dragged on for far longer than I wanted it to. At one point I actually put the book down and considered if it was going anywhere in particular. The idea of the poison was just lame. It seemed like the author had included it to prevent Elias from being such a successful killing machine, that way there was a change of him being capture or even killed. I really didn’t like it.

We have a tyrannical emperor who is beyond ruthless, and a commandant who is also beyond salvation. The sequel to Tahir’s bestselling smash An Ember in the Ashes finally comes out in August, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint.”— Book Riot So you've made a few bad decisions. So have I. So has Elias. So has everyone attempting to do something difficult. That doesn't mean that you give up, you fool. Do you understand?” The soldier approaches, his footsteps heavy. I can smell him—sweat and iron and dirt. Elias’s grip on his knives tightens. His body is coiled like a wildcat waiting to strike. I clamp a hand onto my armlet—a gift from my mother. Beneath my fingers, the armlet’s familiar pattern is a balm. The 3-star rating does not mean that I didn't like this one, for I still find the underlying plot of the story quite interesting. It's complex, full of mystery and abundant of twists throughout, making everything unpredictable. I was a bit worried about the addition of a third POV, but Helene's character compares well to the other two POVs, if not better. Instead of moving along the same plot line, we get multiple new branches, and a lot of magic elements. The result is -just like with the first book- one could easily enjoy the book without worrying about other shortcomings. When it comes to imagination, Tahir has a lot in store.

Arius Harper’s spirit tells Elias that when the Sea of Suffering broke through the barrier, it took him, but before it could consume him, Mauth snatched him away. Elias is now in between the world of the living and the dead. Elias could choose to fall into the Sea of Suffering and lose himself in his pain. Or he could return to the world, for he is the Soul Catcher and has a duty, the balance must be restored.thanks to no one for giving me a heads-up that this existed will be existing. now it's nearly too late to buy party tooters. oh, YAY! i was deemed cool enough to snag an arc of this after all! and while i was not in the top-tier of cool kids who got the accompanying power bracelet: I'm reviewing An Ember in the Ashes and a Torch Against the Night together in this review, mostly because I didn't have the energy to rant twice. When I say superficial, it's not just that people keep falling for each other, it's just that they fall, move on, fall again, and cycle again. I mean Keenan hated your guts then pledged his all undying love for you two second later and that didn't surprise you one bit? Even better, while mooning over him you start becoming infatuated with the son of the Enemy? All the while whining about how tough life is? Really? Elias is haunted by images of Helene, Laia, and Keris. However, because he has joined with Mauth, who has taken his memories, he does not know who they are or why he sees their faces. While Mauth has made most of Elias' memory fade, he has left some memories. One is what happened when first became Soul Catcher and what happened because he did not give up his humanity and emotions. Elias has spent the last few months passing on the ghosts of the Waiting Place and building a cabin for himself to replace Shaeva's that the efrits burned down. He has also turned the now-empty jinn grove into his personal training space. When his thoughts grow unruly and he feels emotions rising, he exercises. He remembers being told that, "when your mind does not hear year, train your body. Your mind will follow." [3]
