Book Birthday: Kingdom of Ash (10/23/18)

IT’S HERE, IT’S FINALLY HERE

We have a book birthday everyone!!!!!! Wanting to wish Kingdom of Ash a very special happy birthday. This is the final novel of Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series and I know that my heart will be ripped to shreds. On the other hand, look at that cover!

Description of Throne of Glass via Goodreads: 

“Nothing is a coincidence. Everything has a purpose. You were meant to come to this castle, just as you were meant to be an assassin.”

When magic has gone from the world, and a vicious king rules from his throne of glass, an assassin comes to the castle. She does not come to kill, but to win her freedom. If she can defeat twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition to find the greatest assassin in the land, she will become the King’s Champion and be released from prison.

Her name is Celaena Sardothien.

The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her.

And a princess from a foreign land will become the one thing Celaena never thought she’d have again: a friend.

But something evil dwells in the castle—and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying, horribly, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival—and a desperate quest to root out the source of the evil before it destroys her world.

We have a book birthday today everyone! Ahhh today is the day where A Reaper at the Gates is out for purchase!! A Reaper at the Gates is the third book in author Sabaa Tahir’s Ember quartet. I don’t want to include any spoilers since this is the third book, but it is an amazing series!

Description of An Ember in the Ashes via Goodreads: 

Laia is a slave. Elias is a soldier. Neither is free.
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. Those who do not vow their blood and bodies to the Emperor risk the execution of their loved ones and the destruction of all they hold dear.
It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empire’s impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They’ve seen what happens to those who do.
But when Laia’s brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empire’s greatest military academy.
There, Laia meets Elias, the school’s finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. 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.

I highly recommend picking up this quartet and diving into the fascinating story that Tahir takes on. It will have you on an emotional rollercoaster and keep you on the edge of your seat! I promise the second you pick these books up, you won’t be able to put them down.
