A Torch Against the Night

Sabaa continues the dramatic escape and rescue plan from An Ember in the Ashes. At the end of that book, we are basically running away, so book 2 was essential. At the end of this book, there is a bit of a button up. A reader could walk away. I already have book 3 - compelled to keep reading because I'm interested in the magic/mythology of the world and the characters.

This world holds a lot of promise even with the very simplistic splits of peoples.

A few things are too good to be true here, but I like that we got to keep moving forward.

And...when a character has some herbs to prevent pregnancy (no details for spoilers), well, I could not believe that because of the conditions of the character (likely first time) and conditions (remote/away from familiar places/running).
