This series deserves every acclaim! It is truly a literary masterpiece that I don’t think will ever be topped and it not being more popular is a CRIME!!!
Everything is stunning, from the world building, to the characters, to that stakes, all the way down to very prose on the page! Simple amazing!
I want to say more but I am still so fresh of reading it and nothing I could say would to it justice! It is an experience I wish on everyone!

I was skeptical about this book after Reaper, but once it got started I couldn’t put it down. The emotional twists and turns, the story, and the characters all added up for this to be an epic conclusion and a beautiful ending for characters that went through so much loss and suffering. But as the series reminded us throughout, “where there is life, there is hope”
Surprise MVP for me was Helene, I looked forward to her chapters and felt her pain and struggles so much. She became the woman her people needed her to be, and that arc was so compelling. Who knew she would become my favorite character?
This book has solidified this series for me, and I will definitely be reading Heir when it comes out. 4.75 stars.

While I cherished every second with the characters, I yearned for more happy endings for those we grew to love. The final book, although a gripping conclusion, left me wishing for additional Elias and Laia moments instead of Elias grappling with those trying to aid him.
Sabaa Tahir's skillful writing captivated me throughout the series, and even as this chapter closes, I eagerly anticipate discovering more of her work in the future. The Ember Quartet will undoubtedly hold a special place in my literary heart.
