Helene even remarks that her nephew grows a new tooth during one of her absences.
It takes months to get between places, and weeks to gather allies. Tahir also takes time to emphasize the passage of time in the book. As their paths converge, the pace picks up and the story becomes more action-driven. The first half of the book is slow as we switch between Helene gathering an army and Laia setting out to bring Elias back. The tension only mounts from there as the gang tries to figure out The Nightbringer’s true goal.
It’s a powerful opening that reminds the reader of all that’s a stake in a few short chapters. The book then jumps to Laia’s POV as she and Helene prepare to recruit Princess Nikla to their cause in a mission that ultimately fails. He must take on a mission that could save–or destroy–all that he knows.Ī Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir begins with The Nightbringer’s creation thousands of years ago, and then his search for Laia. To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. Yet doing so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life–and love–he left behind. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory–or to an unimaginable doom. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family. At his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.
Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off… The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir brings the Ember series to a close in a breathtaking but satisfying conclusion
