Till It Arrives is inspired by Jamie from The Perpetual Page-Turner’s Save the Date feature. Sometimes I read books that are not released anytime soon, but I want to share some of my feelings on the book right away, so Till It Arrives is born! (It also allows me to read books that appear later in my schedule, so that’s awesome too.) Since I don’t usually use GIFs in my reviews, I thought I’ll use plenty of GIFs to describe my feelings for the book I’m talking about in this feature!
An Ember in the Ashes
Author: Sabaa Tahir
Series: None
Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Fantasy
Release Date: April 28, 2015
Publisher: Razorbill
Summary:
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 that 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’s 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.
First Sentence: My big brother reaches home in the dark hours before dawn, when even ghosts take their rest.

When I saw it I immediately wanted to read it and I’m so glad to see that not only the synopsis sounds good! (I’m in the middle of an ARC I’ve requested because the concept sounded great and it was by an author I quite like and I kinda almost DNF’d it already. -__-)
