I like that even though the story got bigger, it also continues to feel like that steady march toward an inevitable clash between good and evil.Īm I going to read the third book? Definitely. I feel like the story world got broader and deeper, and it made the story and the characters so much richer. I love the ways A TORCH AGAINST THE NIGHT surprised me. The leader of the desert tribe and her flirtatious brother. The cloaked woman who comes to Helene in the night.
I love the relationships between the major and minor characters so much. That said, I really enjoy the story and can’t stop rooting for the characters.
The pair must fight every step of the way to outsmart their enemies: the bloodthirsty Emperor Marcus, the merciless Commandant, the sadistic Warden of Kauf, and, most heartbreaking of all, Helene-Elias’s former friend and the Empire’s newest Blood Shrike.īound to Marcus’s will, Helene faces a torturous mission of her own-one that might destroy her: find the traitor Elias Veturius and the Scholar slave who helped him escape…and kill them both.īooks that show graphic violence are always a struggle for me to read, and this one comes close to the edge for me. And Elias is determined to help Laia succeed, even if it means giving up his last chance at freedom.īut dark forces, human and otherworldly, work against Laia and Elias. 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. 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.
