A Reaper at the Gates (Ember Quartet, Book 3) | 
#JuneSpecials Day 26: Can stand for #ChocPudding #ChocolatePudding but more like Chilis molten chocolate cake - paired with the third book in the Ember in the Ashes quartet which I simply devoured while in Seattle a week ago. I am not starting Book 4 yet so I can prolong my stay in Sabaa Tahir‘s world. Will get to the #CampLitsy2025 and #EuropaCollective titles first.

pickSome of the magic from the previous books eluded me in this one.
It was still incredibly tense, distressing, and harrowing.
However, most of the twists I foresaw this time around. I wasn't as taken aback by the events as I was with the previous two books.
Still, I'm anxiously trying to make time to read the next book.

pickDefinitely enjoyed this one to continue the series. The addition of more characters made it more interesting to read. The book keeps the story going and still keeps in interesting at the same time. And it definitely keeper me wanting to read the series
Here‘s my review video for it
A Reaper at the Gates Review
https://youtu.be/UDs6fB09ogw
so-soI loved An Ember in the Ashes, then I enjoyed A Torch Against the Night and this one was OK? With each book I'm becoming a bit more detached like the characters. I don't think much happened in this book. While the author is definitely a fantastic writer, I'm not enjoying where this story is going. Hopefully the last book will turn things around.
so-soI really love these characters and especially how many strong female characters there are.
This didn't have that many thrilling moments and this was dark but I would have loved to have more scenes with different creepy creatures like we had in the first book.
The ending was really satisfying and it rewarded I still would have loved this to be a bit shorter.
Beloved.

pick3½⭐Ɱ◎◎ĐႽ…
»Fantasy w/ an epic high fantasy feel
»Inspired by the Ancient Roman Empire
»3 POVs
»War, strife, & death
»Magical powers, supernatural beings, & a splash of romance
Overall, this series has been brutally devastating yet ultimately satisfying. You never know what‘s going to happen or far she‘ll go with any given aspect of the story. With that being said, I‘m never able to be fully immersed in each book until I‘m at least 2/3's into it.
pickBeen doing a reread of the whole Ember series in preparation for book 4. I have really enjoyed the audiobooks and I‘m super grateful for the refresher so that I can really enjoy the finale! These books are harsh and brutal but the characters are lovable and you root for them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pretty proud of my bingo board for September! This is most squares I've had filled in! 🎉 Maybe I can get a bingo next month! 🤞🏼 #bookspinbingo
pick5/5 ⭐️ I don't know how Sabaa Tahir does it but she is the master at weaving plot twists! I absolutely love this series and am excited to see how it ends!
Zola kept me company as I finished the book 🥰
#bookspinbingo
pick5/5 for the third in this series. Wow that ending the whole book actually! There were things revealed that were just woah! I need to know all the things. So many different things are going on with everyone. I will be continuing this series!
pickThis book has been on my TBR pile since Christmas and I finally picked it up and remembered how much I love this series! Done in just a few days 😎
pickMy #doublespin is complete! Started slow but once I got about halfway I couldn‘t stop! I love this series. I love the relationships between multiple people. Just amazing world that has me on the edge of my seat about what is going to happen. Truly don‘t want to read the last one for it to end!! 😭🤣 #bookspinbingo
pickI‘ve listened to this non stop. Baking, cleaning, transferring seedlings, driving. It was hecking great!!!
pickAnd the story just keeps getting better. Sabaa Tahir is a fantastic author, able to keep building the tension, gives some excellent story climaxes, while still giving just a hint of cliffhanger to keep you wanting to get the next book.
pickI forgot to turn my timer off for most of the weekend so I got 78hrs in for #20in4 🤣🤣
I think my actually reading time was around 13hrs and most of that was spent with this one. It's getting interesting guys....I'm not sure I'm ready for the final book 😔
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65
pickI really enjoyed, probably more so that books 1 & 2
The direction of Elias story was really enjoyable & we get to see more of Helene as well & the struggles she experiences. I didn't enjoy Laia's POV as much in this book & she started to get on my nerves a bit
Helene is starting to become a character I admire as she never gives up & is single-minded in her objective & doesn't allow her grief & sorrows to overcome her
Another sold 4 star read
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This was the book in the series that feels like where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.This made it a little more difficult to enjoy reading, though Tahir‘s writing &storytelling was still very well done.The end of the book was fast paced & brutal & fascinating, and made up for the difficult journey that was the beginning of the book.I am really looking forward to finishing the series with book 4.& hoping for some happy endings!
Steve West reads the Elias POV chapters in the audio version of the Ember in the Ashes series. I would like for him to read all the things to me. 💗
pickIf you haven‘t read The Ember in the Ashes series, I don‘t know what you‘re waiting for. I did a reread by audio of Reaper in preparation for A Sky Beyond the Storm. It‘s such a good listen/read.
Listening to this to get ready for book 4. I read it so long ago that I can‘t remember enough. Besides, the people who read these books are excellent!
pickThis is the 3rd book in the Ember In The Ashes series. It was brilliant. I love how this series is going. The last book, A Sky Beyond The Storm comes out in December. I can't wait to read it 💚

1. Getting my cold weather clothes out of the attic, buying Macoun apples from the farm, and that extra hour of sleep! 2. Sarah J. Maas, Sabaa Tahir. 3. Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (read it last month, but way creepier than what I‘m reading now). #WondrousWednesday
pickFinished this today, and definitely enjoyed it more this second time around. Totally ready for the next installment. P.S. I really dislike this cover.
pickWhy did no one warn me?! I NEVER start a series unless I know that it‘s already been completely published (thanks fantasy authors for doing this to me). Y‘all didn‘t tell me the fourth wasn‘t out yet! I raced through this book (not as good as the first two, but obviously still good) only to find I have to wait until December! The night bringer was an interesting twist, and I‘m hoping that Elias has better luck (I said that with book 2 though) 8/10
so-soI loved the first, I liked the second, but the third I couldn‘t really relate to. The insufferably teen love story really annoyed me and kept the focus off the political and familial storylines. Also world building got a bit too ambitious for me. But I kept reading since I thought this would be the series finale, and then there was the cliff-hanger.... will i continue? Not sure... maybe if the cover goes back to the pretty design...
Reading in the park 💚
pickCan‘t get enough of this story, still no end in sight. It leaves on a cliff hanger with the 4th book out in dec. 2020. It has some unexpected twists and I love that this story is keeping me on my toes.
Doing a little deck reading tonight in the beautiful weather!

“You love too much, my king.”
pickI enjoyed the third installment of this series. I didn‘t love Elias‘s storyline as much this time around but the other two storylines kept things interesting.
