Story
Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya - but neither wants to be.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Binged it then started #2

Publisher's Summary
Set in a terrifyingly brutal Rome-like world, An Ember in the Ashes is an epic fantasy debut about an orphan fighting for her family and a soldier fighting for his freedom. It's a story that's literally burning to be told.
What if you were the spark that could ignite a revolution? For years Laia has lived in fear. Fear of the Empire, fear of the Martials, fear of truly living at all. Born as a Scholar, she's never had much of a choice.
For Elias it's the opposite. He has seen too much on his path to becoming a Mask, one of the Empire's elite soldiers. With the Masks' help the Empire has conquered a continent and enslaved thousands, all in the name of power.
When Laia's brother is taken she must force herself to help the Resistance, the only people who have a chance of saving him. She must spy on the Commandant, ruthless overseer of Blackcliff Academy. Blackcliff is the training ground for Masks and the very place that Elias is planning to escape. If he succeeds, he will be named deserter. If found, the punishment will be death.
But once Laia and Elias meet, they will find that their destinies are intertwined and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
In the ashes of a broken world one person can make a difference. One voice in the dark can be heard. The price of freedom is always high, and this time that price might demand everything, even life itself.

So good
Agh this was the perfect book to get me out of my last book series hangover. Utterly captivating. I can’t wait to read the next instalment. There’s 5 or so in this series so I just hope they are all as good and engaging as this one.

Amazing story, questionable female narration.
This book is so wholesome 🤗
It has all the best tropes
Down trodden civilisation that was overthrown by conqurers taking over the land
Romeo and Juliet vibes of the two different cultures
Magic beasties who've been asleep and are coming alive
Rebels with questionable motives.
A main character who starts off ANNOYING AS HELL but comes into herself and becomes someone you could love.
Everything a girl needs
I love the male Audible narration but the female makes our main character sound like a 5 year old. I actually could not stand it. Usually I will warm to a voice narrator after a few chapters but this was almost story ruining.

Very descriptive writing.
Enjoyable narrators. Best part? Incredibly descriptive writing, author has really put SO much effort into setting the scenes and adding the feeling to the reader (listener). That was really memorable. It's a super slow first book. Just started the second book now... it's getting good now!

A gripping story with great characters and strong, engaging plot.
I loved the performance from Elias but I felt as though Leya's voice was very juvenile. I kept picturing a 13-year-old girl and not 17 year old young woman. Overall, great narration of the emotions and scenes from both readers.

Great book
This a great book, I loved the theme and twists and turns. The performance was also great. The only thing with the book was it repeatedly had to tell you what was at stake and why they were on the mission etc. We are listening or reading the book not reading part of it and then picking it up a year latter we don't need to be reminded about the main story line over and over again. I'm still going to get the second book for sure, can't wait to find out what happens.
