"You are an ember in the ashes, Elias Veturius. You will spark and burn, ravage and destroy. You cannot change it. You cannot stop it." 
 I cannot begin to describe this book. There are hardly words that could come close. Literally, nothing in my mind will do it justice. 
 While I was reading, I was Elias and I was Laia. Their fears, doubts, concerns and secrets were mine. Then their courage, strength, fight and triumph was mine too. I don't know if there is a book that brought me so deep into the story that when I closed the cover, it was like being snapped back to reality. An Ember in the Ashes made my heart pound, it made me smile and it made me cry. I warred with myself; wanting to highlight so many different things because the words were just so profound but I couldn't destroy this beautiful thing. 
 "You are full, Laia. Full of life and dark and strength and spirit. You are in our dreams. You will burn, for you are an ember in the ashes. That is your destiny..." 
 If there is a book you want to get lost in, pick this up.
