From the Embers

Product Information

A horrible accident ruins their lives and from its ruination emerges the true personalities of each & every character present. Their relationship is complicated, Bree doesn't like Eason, she doesn't consider him enough for her best friend. Right from the beginning I could tell Eason would do anything for his family and friends but since life had thrown some bumps his way that prevented him truly giving everything, he promised Jessica his wife one thing was for sure, that he kept trying! In this waking world, I am awakened. In this easing of shadow, I reclaim the light. I am not alone here. I sit with my ancestors, singing this day into being — and I am made more. We can be painted as villains in anyone’s story, but even villains have a reason for the things they do."

Anna Shapiro reviewed the book for The Observer in 2002, [2] and wrote: "Elegiac, sombre, musical, and gripping, Embers is a brilliant disquisition on friendship, one of the most ambitious in literature." Shapiro continued: "About a milieu and values that were already dying before the outbreak of World War II, it has the grandeur and sharpness of Jean Renoir's 1937 movie masterpiece La Grande Illusion, with which it shares, in both oblique and pronounced ways, some of its substance." She never allowed herself to know the real Eason, until tragedy forces her to know who he really is. Al final fue una historia bien bonita, con unos niños lindos que complementaban la historia y que le daban ese toque tierno y familiar a la relación.

I’m terrified that, if we keep screaming into the past, the future is going to be nothing but an echo.” I forgot why I loved Aly Martinez' writing so much, and I'm glad for the reminder. I'm off to play catch up with her other books that I've missed out on. There is fire and power, a twisted romance you can’t help but be captivated by, a killer one bed trope scene that had my pulse racing, bold and bad female leads, a push-and-pull / love-hate relationship between Dyvana and Kadeyan that stirs the embers low in your core while reading, and the best villains of any story. There is the perfect amount of spice, banter, and some wondrous side characters that make me want to hug them and share a glass of red as we laugh together. There is such a powerful eloquence in silence. True genius is knowing when to say nothing, to allow the experience, the moment itself to carry the message to say what needs to be said. Words are less important, less effective than feeling. When you can sit in perfect silence with someone, you truly know how to communicate.’ h (heroine) rating: 3 stars. Bree. I liked her and how she owned her desire to be a stay at home mom, but she was kind of bitchy to begin with.I feel like the author's writing could be good. I sorta liked these MCs more than Feyre/Rhys/Tampon/etc but I just wish there had been more original aspects than there was. bc the parts that were different, that felt like the author's voice - i loved. but... there wasn't enough of it to make me *love* the whole book. like the obvious similarities to the dynamic between the courts and their high lords/ladies, the traditions/events (one was *very* similar to Calanmai except without the spice in a cave bit) and the next biggest similarity i wanted to mention is a spoiler so I can't talk about it. The miracle is that we are here at all. Life itself is our greatest wonder. To simply BE is awe-inspiring. There is also a twist towards the end where Rob is not actually dead and he kidnaps Easton's daughter. Everything works out and we get a happy end obviously. By that time I was already over it and sadly, this wasn't a book for me.
