If I could give this book more stars I would! 

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!

Ngl I'm kind of glad to be done with these just so I can finally move on to something else. They weren't bad. I love the writing and the story. I was just kind of bored at times?

"A Sky Beyond the Storm" by Sabaa Tahir marks the bittersweet end of a beautiful series, leaving me with a lingering sense of sadness. Accidentally spoiling myself through fanart didn't diminish the impact of the heart-wrenching moments, each one still carrying its painful weight.

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.

A great end to a great series. 

This started out a little slow for my taste, but every scene felt necessary. Everything after 80% of the book was an emotional rollercoaster. I cried when certain characters died and cried again when their souls crossed over. Any book that makes me cry gets a high rating from me. The end gave me all the closure I wanted and I loved it. What an adventure this series has been. I'm sad to say goodbye but it feels right.
