À propos de cet audio

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.

Laia is a Scholar living under the iron-fisted rule of the Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire's greatest military academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim they will help to save her brother from execution.

Elias is the academy's finest soldier - and secretly its most unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the military, but before he can, he's ordered to participate in a ruthless contest to choose the next Martial emperor.

When Laia and Elias' paths cross at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either could have imagined and that their choices will change the future of the empire itself.

“This novel is a harrowing, haunting reminder of what it means to be human - and how hope might be kindled in the midst of oppression and fear.” (The Washington Post)

“[An Ember in the Ashes] thrusts its readers into a world marred by violence and oppression, yet does so with simple prose that can offer moments of loveliness in its clarity. This complexity makes Ember a worthy novel - and one as brave as its characters.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Sabaa Tahir spins a captivating, heart-pounding fantasy.” (Us Weekly)

I really enjoyed this book. I like that the author took the time to set up the characters and the story for the next two books. She didn't rush and it shows. I really liked her unique take on an old idea. The characters really evolve nicely and I have been binge listening to this series.

Narrators: I like when there are different people reading different parts and all the narrators did a great job with accents and pulling you in and getting you there with each character.

Great Book! Fun read and really catches you!

it's a little slow but is nice to see the author build the character's. For pretty much the entire book I was wondering where the hell the main chick plays into all of this and I still am woundering what her role is... maybe the next book will explain what her significance is.

Pretty good series

I’ve listened to this book three times now and I keep finding reasons to love it. I also hunt out other books read by Fiona Hardingham and Steve West as they both do great jobs. If you are looking for something truly refreshing, start here.

Phenomenal

This was going to be my last go at audible books. The last few I've listen to the narrator ruined the book. I was going to cancel my subscription and be done. This book gave me faith in audio books again! Loved it!!

Amazing book, excellent story telling

Hard to take the Female character at first, but with development, she is enjoyable.

I think the issues I had with her character were more due to narration, and would not have been as pronounced if I were reading the story.
The story grew on me as well, and by the middle I know I will be looking for more books in this series.

Grew on me

I’ve never written an Amazon review for audiobooks before but the second An Ember in the Ashes ended, I knew I had to. Sabaa Tahir’s writing has me in a chokehold; I’m completely smitten. Book 2 is downloading as I type. This is a definite must read/listen for those that love fantastical worlds and transformative bad axx heroines. P. S the audio performance was 5 stars all around. Love love love.

what a gem

I have to say I really enjoyed this, eventhough it was a bit slow, you realize very quickly that its building to something much much bigger. The narrators were great as I've listened to them on different books before and they always give a stellar performance my only concern was that I wonder if the accents were fitted to the books setting? It wasn't a deal breaker for me but just a thought about half way through. Absolutely moving on to the next one as soon as possible!

Enjoyed Throughly!!!

I liked this way better then I thought I would. I was enveloped into the world that Sabaa Tahir created and invested into the lives of Lia and Elias. When the book ended I had to read the next one, normally after reading one book in a series I lose interest in the story and I don't finish the series, but not with this one.

A Surprise Gem
