If there was an option for more than 10/10, I’d pick that one. I absolutely loved this book. The writing is simply gorgeous, the storyline is fascinating, the ending is both perfect and heartbreaking. And that’s all I’ll say, other than: just read it.
Many thanks to the Pigeonhole for serialising this. I hate to think that I would probably have missed it otherwise.

Good but not quite there
Slaves are like marmite. You either love them or hate them. In my instance, this album is what made me come to enjoy Slaves, but in no way do I recognise this at their best album. As much as it's full of punchy punk revival bops, they aren't as well thought out as I think they possibly could be.

I am definitely not one of Ryan Reynolds biggest fans but I will say I am glad I was made to watch this, I would say it is far better than number one. The only bad part of this film is the male aussie ( fire fist ) everything about him makes me angry, hate his character and his annoying whiny voice.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The I Hate to Cook Book in Books

The I Hate to Cook Book starts off like this:
Some women, it is said, love to cook.
This book is not for them.
Basically, this book is for me.
The I Hate To Cook Book has tons of great recipes sorted in to simplistic chapters, each focusing on another important aspect of the chore of cooking: how to use leftovers, soups, salads, fancy meals for guests, last minute meals, cooking tips etc.
I loved the recipes in this book, and I actually (almost) want to get into a kitchen and try some of them out (usually I hand cookbooks to my mom and say “here, make this pretty please!!”). This one will stay on my shelf for… well in all honesty, I don’t ever intend to part with it. I mean, if the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, I’d better learn how to make something edible, right?
riiight.
The only reason I don’t give it five stars… there aren’t any pictures. And I really need pictures… because I can’t cook. Still, the recipes are easy enough that I’d probably survive just fine. As well as any man I might attempt to feed.
I recommend The I Hate To Cook Book for anyone who… well, hates to cook but is stuck with the job.

Amazing, diverse read
To start, this novel is excellent. Sabaa Tahir’s characters are diverse. You will love some and you will hate some. Let’s start with Elias. He is the perfect soldier for the Martials. But he also has a heart unlike many at the Blackcliff Academy where he is training to be a Mask. Then, you have Laia. At first, she seems to be this weak girl, but as the novel progresses, she becomes stronger and finds herself. Next is the Commandent. She is one of those bad guys that you HATE. There is no love for this woman. She is pure evil, and you just hate her more and more every time she talks.
The plot is fresh. I have yet to read a novel close to this one. The world building is at the perfect pace through out the novel. Tahir knows how to give the reader just enough information to keep you on the edge of your seat. Tahir’s timing of when to reveal information is just perfect. I don’t want to give any examples because I don’t want to have any spoilers.
All in all, the diversity, plot, characters, and everything are just perfect in this novel. I have nothing negative to say. I couldn’t put An Ember in the Ashes down, and I cannot wait to read the next!

omfg this book was so explosive from beginning to end.
i fell more in love with jade and dillon (didn't think that was possible)
i fell more in hate with macy and benny (if that's possible)
im usually a person who can predict what is going to happen in a book and i speed read but this ......i mean ...... the evil and gore i just did not see some parts coming .
i really don't know what to say without spoiling this book.
lets just say the anger and hate i felt while reading this book was raw and real but at the same time the happiness and glimmers of hope were amazing this book had me gripped all the way through and hooked like an addict also think i literally was shouting out loud at this book .....eeeek i love it now on to the next x
