Set in a rich, high-fantasy world inspired by ancient Rome, Sabaa Tahir's AN EMBER IN THE ASHES told the story of Laia, a slave fighting for her family, and Elias, a young soldier fighting for his freedom.
Now, in A TORCH AGAINST THE NIGHT, Elias and Laia are running for their lives.
After the events of the Fourth Trial, Martial soldiers hunt the two fugitives as they flee the city of Serra and undertake a perilous journey through the heart of the Empire.
Laia is determined to break into Kauf??the Empire??s most secure and dangerous prison??to save her brother, who is the key to the Scholars' survival. And Elias is determined to help Laia succeed, even if it means giving up his last chance at freedom.
But dark forces, human and otherworldly, work against Laia and Elias.

This is a reread in preparation for the final book coming out later this year! Still a fantastic, emotional, high-stakes read that rips me apart at points. :,) ( )
Enjoyed it even more than the first one (in part because I didn't have to hear the horrible voice the narrator used for Helene in the audio version of book one). Excellent plot with twists I didn't anticipate. Amazing and varied female characters. Really good ethical dilemmas. Her world building is very good as well. The sections with the Dreamcatcher were sometimes a bit choppy, and I'll be interested to see how she develops this strand in the final book. ( )
Very good sequel. Not as engaging as the last book but i enjoyed. i LIKED all the twists and turns and how the book ended. It was slow at points but overall a very good read. ( )
