An Ember in the Ashes (Book 1)
By Sabaa Tahir
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death.
When Laia’s grandparents are brutally murdered and her brother arrested for treason by the empire, the only people she has left to turn are the rebels.
But in exchange for their help in saving her brother, they demand that Laia spy on the ruthless Commandant of Blackcliff, the Empire’s greatest military academy. Should she fail it’s more than her brother’s freedom at risk…Laia’s very life is at stake.
There, she meets Elias, the academy’s finest soldier. But Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he’s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined – and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
This was a really good read. I really enjoyed it. A fantasy with decent characters and a good plot line. I’m interested to see where it’s going.

The album of a generation
I don't think there's anyone around my age who didn't love this album as a teenager. It's possibly one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. There's a few standout songs (In The End, One Step Closer) but every song is fantastic in its own right. This is one of the few albums that myself and my brother can actually agree on, and even used to listen to it together when we were younger. Genius.

The illustrations are bright and colorful. The pictures represent the words in the book. The author did a really good job with it. It is good for young readers.
Young children can see the pictures while the parent, older brother or sister read the book. I like the fact that it easy poem and meaningful. The story has a moral and explains that God or our Lord created it. It has faith in it and explains it in the best way.

Anna has changed her name and moved across the country to get away from her past. But it all comes back to her when her brother goes missing. Does it have something to do with their past? I couldn't not put this book down. The plot was strong with enough clues to keep us going and confused. The characters were strong as well.

A very lovely coming of age story, centering on Dottie, a child of divorced parents. The story is told in a series of nearly 100 vignettes, each of which is filled with wit and vulnerability. During the course of the novel, Dottie struggles with moving, poverty, an alcoholic stepfather, questioning her sexuality, race relations, playing sports, and her relationship with her mother, half-brother, and stepsister. Her character exhibits amazing grace and presence of mind as she continually questions the world around her.

Storyline
The world's guilty pleasure
This show is the one that everyone likes, but few people, especially guys, will admit they like. The show centers around half brothers, one is the good guy raised by his mom, and the other guy is a douche bag. They of course get into this sort of rivalry when the good brother joins the school basketball team. It's a fun show, and easy to get into. Check it out!

This is my first book I've read by this author. It's a real page turner. I loved the flow, and how this author combined vampires and greek God's into the mix. I'm looking forward to reading more from Aimee.
