Hopefully, above, you can actually see my Instagram pictures! On Instagram you have to swipe to see all the pictures, since I clumped together both my Book Beginnings and Friday56 posts.
Just in case you can’t see beyond the first photo, here’s the Friday 56 sentence below:
My First Thoughts:
I am really enjoying this one, too. Not far into it yet, but once again I plan to change that over the weekend! The first one was brilliant and I stepped straight into this one afterwards. It’s so nice to be able to do that!
A Torch Against the Night (An Ember in the Ashes Book) by Sabaa Tahir
Blurb:
Laia is determined to break into Kauf—the Empire’s most secure and dangerous prison—to save her brother, who is the key to the Scholars’ survival. And Elias is determined to help Laia succeed, even if it means giving up his last chance at freedom.
But dark forces, human and otherworldly, work against Laia and Elias. The pair must fight every step of the way to outsmart their enemies: the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the merciless Commandant, the sadistic Warden of Kauf, and, most heartbreaking of all, Helene—Elias’s former friend and the Empire’s newest Blood Shrike.
Bound to Marcus’s will, Helene faces a torturous mission of her own—one that might destroy her: find the traitor Elias Veturius and the Scholar slave who helped him escape…and kill them both.
(less)I can’t wait to find out!
Have a great weekend full of reading. Hope you’ve got lots of things lined up that you are looking forward to.
Luv Sassy

I haven’t read this one yet. I enjoyed the first book in the series though. I have a science fiction book this week – The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi. Happy reading!
Oh, I’m going to pop over and take a look! 🙂 Thanks for your comment,, Kathy! I do hope you get to read this one. And enjoy it. I’m sure you will.
So intense! Great lines, too. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
You’re welcome! Always a pleasure!
Not one for me, but I’m happy you’re enjoying it. And love your adorable rat! I hope you and your readers will check out mine today . . . http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsCF-DotKM
Awww thanks! I’m rather partial to her, too! Yes, I will check out yours right away 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
So beautifully written!! LOVE that opening line, so creeptastic!! Sounds like a great series! Happy weekend! x
Hi, Sassy! Those are great excerpts! They really make me want to read this series! So glad you enjoyed the first! Happy reading! 🙂
Thanks! Hope you get to try them!
I want to read this series so badly! It’s a bit out of my usual genres but the writing and covers are so gorgeous I can’t resist! Glad to hear you’re enjoying this one!
That’s brilliant news! Always nice to go for a fresh genre every now and then!
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Thanks, Nicki!
I’ve been meaning to get to this one for ages! Soon!
Hope you do! 🙂 Would love to know what you think, Lauren!
Oh no, I’m looking away to avoid any spoilers! I wonder if buying this book would get me to read it faster…
Yes! It certainly would get you to read it faster! LOL I wondered about revealing the first page here, because I didn’t want to reveal any spoilers,, too. Then decided it you’re going to read this, parts of this story you see in the opening lines would be obvious for the series to continue… 🙂
This sounds like a lot of fun! I haven’t read the first book, but it’s on my wish list. I hope you are enjoying this one!
Hope you wishes come true!
