An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Read in May 2020 Picture this: Harry Potter with the violence of Game of Thrones but set in Ancient Rome. That's the feeling I get from this book especially when reading Elias' chapters. Don't get me wrong. I did really enjoy this book though. It was so gripping that I finished it after a couple of days. It would have been a lot better if the characters didn't act like lovesick puppies with crushes on each other. Forget love triangles, this was more like a love dodecahedron.
