WOW
Why did I wait this long to read this???
Heir takes place 20 years after the ending of A Sky Beyond the Storm. You technically don’t have to read the Ember in the Ashes Quartet to read Heir but……1.) why wouldn’t you? It’s an amazing series and 2.) it elevates the reading experience!!
I loved getting back into this world and seeing some of my favorite characters back in action but there is a host of brand new characters that were so easy to love…..and some maybe not so much.
3 different perspectives ….which sometimes can bog me down as a reader but I’m not even kidding…..at the end of each chapter/pov I was like whatttttttttt
In true Sabaa Tahir fashion…the story did not go where I thought it would go. Literally 210 pages in and I was like wow what???? Plot twist!!
10/10
“When you sacrifice other people’s children on the alter of your ambition, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be willing to sacrifice your own. That’s how evil works, Aiz.”
“When Humanity turns on its Children, then you know we are lost.”
Trigger Warning:
This books speaks on genocide, religious abuse, war and death.
