Kirkus Reviews are excellent.

Elias and Laia are on the run for their life, according to Entertainment Weekly's Summer 2016 Must List.

Following the events of the Fourth Trial, Masks' army pursues the two fugitives as they flee Serra and travel across the Martial Empire's vast borders.

Laia is resolved to break into Kauf, the Empire's most guarded and deadliest prison, and save her brother, whose knowledge of Serric steel is crucial to the Scholars' future. Elias, on the other hand, is determined to stay at Laia's side, even if it means foregoing his own chance at freedom.

Yet if Elias and Laia are to outsmart their foes: the ruthless Emperor Marcus, the brutal Commandant, the sadistic Warden of Kauf, and, most tragic of all, Helene Elias' former friend and the Empire's newest Blood Shrike, they will have to fight every step of the way.

Helene's assignment is terrifying, unwelcomed, and simple: hunt and murder the traitor Elias Veturius and the Scholar slave who assisted him in his escape.

An Ember in the Ashes has received a lot of positive feedback.

The Washington Post says, This novel is a horrific, haunting reminder of what it is to be human and how hope can be sparked in the midst of injustice and dread.
