2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss A ​Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir, the fourth book in the Ember in the Ashes series.

Pages: 516 pages


Length: 1 Month (November)


Participants: SarahKat, Allie, Sara, Ilse.


Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

I'm going to catch up this week. Get the third read and I've already got the 4th checked out from the library.

Yay! I just started this one on audio

Better than the third one I think, but still not great. The first two were definitely the strongest in the series. Glad I read it but also glad to be done with it!

I did like (view spoiler)[how Laia's mom volunteered to be soul catcher so Elias could be a regular person again and be with Laia. And Helene is Empress for a while. It was sad Avitas died, but otherwise a fairly "happy" ending. (hide spoiler)]
