An Ember in the Ashes #1

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

This thread is to discuss An Ember in the Ashes, the first book in the An Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir.


Pages: 446 pages


Length: 1 Month (February)


Participants: Luci, Arielle, Stuti .


Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!


Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

Let me know if its a quick read! I'm also really excited to read it but I might only be able to start it later in the month because of school:(

[Stuti]

It was a pretty quick read and I really enjoyed it so I hope you will too. I’ll hold off on posting my thoughts for a little bit so I don’t tempt you away from school! 😬

I've just recently came across this book. Happy to start reading it once library copy is available for pick up.

[Stuti]

I loved it!! (view spoiler)[I really liked how this book was written and I liked the storyline. This book made me feel soo many emotions and I had the hardest time putting it down. The different narrators and perspectives made me slow down and really read the words instead of flying through them and sometimes I really dislike having multiple narrators but in this story I think it really works. In my opinion this book differed from the others of this genre and I'm glad because I read so much that it really stood out. (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to hear what you think about the book when you are done! I couldn't wait to see what happened next and have already started the next book in this series!

Hey everyone! Just grabbed the book a few days ago and saw that there was a buddy group for it. Excited to join in with you all. I'm only 20 pages in, but I'm psyched thus far.

[Surabhi]

Hello guys! I am very late to pick this book up. I am 16 pages into the book and hope to finish it in Feb itself.

What are your updates?

[Arielle]

I still haven't started which I'm really upset about but I just haven't had time. I might only get to it in March:(

[Luci]

Unfortunately I haven't been able to start it either, but I'd like to try and finish it before next month ends, not sure if this thread will stay open by then!

If it does I'll read it with you! I should finish the book I'm reading currently in the next few days.
