An Entertainment Weekly Summer Reads pick!

"The perfect summer read." (The Washington Post)

The highly anticipated third book in number-one New York Times best-selling author Sabaa Tahir's Ember Quartet.

Beyond the Martial Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.

Helene Aquilla, the Blood Shrike, is desperate to protect her sister's life and the lives of everyone in the Empire. But she knows that danger lurks on all sides: Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable and violent while Keris Veturia, the ruthless Commandant, capitalizes on the Emperor's volatility to grow her own power - regardless of the carnage she leaves in her path.

Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court but in stopping the Nightbringer. But in the hunt to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would help her and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.

And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that demands his complete surrender - even if that means abandoning the woman he loves.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The book deftly handles serious issues like the costs of genocide and war. Both action-packed and emotionally engaging, A Reaper at the Gates is the perfect summer read.” (The Washington Post)

"Tahir has created another compelling story that defies readers to stop turning the pages." (Booklist, starred review)

"Fans of the series will not want to miss this action-packed installment." (Bookish)

A great third chapter!

I liked the first two books as well, but I have to admit that in this one the story and the characters really grew on me. Yes, as other reviewers pointed out, there is romance here and there, but not so much to be annoying. A must listen!

It was so good!

My emotions are all over the place. I don’t even know where to begin. It was so good that I don’t want to say anything else cause I might spoil it. 😊

Best book of the series so far.

A great book for any fan of high fantasy, whether you prefer YA or stuff on the level of GoT. This story pretty much perfectly straddles that line. The characters are as compelling as ever and I spent over half the book fidgeting from nervousness at how things might develop, which rarely happens for me. The writing is excellent and the world is easy to imagine despite its huge scope. Will leave you desperate for the next installment!

Fresh

A fresh and satisfying story keeping you on your toes the whole entire time. Excellent.

I can't believe what I Just Read!!! this LastBook

I can't believe what I Just Read!!! this LastBook Fhave read ofthe series was by farthebest... the BEST! I cried especially at the end!!! I wish I can write about it without Spoiling the story. I am not a Professional Reviewer Just a simple lover or Books. I'm not typically one for fantasy unless it's for supernatural Books But this Series by far has been an eye catcher forme and has kept me interested from book one. the series from Sarah s. maas couldn't keep my interest But this book has kept my interest and I'm craving the next book now! I Just Realized that this book has Just been published In June! so we have to wait another year!!!! Ugh I'm crying in frustration! literally finished it Just how and had to write it. PLEASE READ THIS SERIES!!!!

Darkest book yet

This was such a dark book. I’m not sure how this series will end except in deep sorrow. The plots of the commandant are so dark that I’m not sure where or what she really wants. Im not sure who is in control her or the night bringer. The scholars are on their own. Elias is now out of their reach with his duties to the dead. I’m in despair for the plebes. Book 4 is much needed at this point.

Amazing Narrating!

Wish more Audio books have multiple Narrators. These ones are just so good! Does the story justice, probably much more! Great story just continues to grab you, not wanting to put this book down!

Great Story and Read

The story is nonstop action. Really difficult to put down. Luckily, I had a couple of road trips to get through.

I did also enjoy the performances.

Lastly, the author provides something other than a purely western point of view. Her background serves her well and it is a joy to read.

Surprises at every turn

The third book in this series did not disappoint! The twists and turns this book puts you through will have you on the edge of your seat and wanting more!

Excellent

All of it was amazing. Great twists, epic battle and always on the brink of crushing hope.
