A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir. Ember in the Ashes #4. Unabridged downloadable e-audiobook, ~17 hours. Read by Fiona Hardingham, Steve West, Katharine Lee McEwan, Maxwell Caulfield and Nikki Massoud. 9780593288047. (Review of e-audiobook borrowed from public library.)
Teen Tuesday features A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir. This is the concluding volume of the bestselling Ember in the Ashes series. And, yes, you must read all the books in order, so this review will be vague and hopefully, spoiler-free. The book begins months after the conclusion of Reaper at the Gates and follows our three heroes, Laia of Serra, Helene Aquilla, the Blood Shrike and Elias Veturia on their hero's journey. Keris Veturia and her armies are on the rampage across the kingdom. There is a great deal of violence and bloodshed in this series. It's definitely not for the faint-of-heart. If you love fantasy, there's a lot here to sink your teeth into-the world building is incredibly vivid, the characters are colorful and there's some heartbreaking romance (and deaths).
I have read the entire series with my ears and highly recommend doing so that way. The three principal narrators, Fiona Hardingham, Steve West and Katherine Lee McEwan are spellbinding as Laia, Elias and Helena.
