A review by allonsythornraxx
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
19/01/2025
DNF @ 30%

I have no doubt that this book is as good as everyone says it is, but I got 30% of the way through before I decided that this wasn't the book for me. I thought the setting and the idea of the masks was so unsettling and horrifying and something I really would liked to delve deeper into. But, the threat of SA feeling so real (absolute props to Sabaa Tahir because she made me feel every ounce of fear Laia felt) made me feel too sick to keep reading.
Always put your mental health first folks, even if it means DNFing a good book. ❤️
