when helene’s chapters changed to “blood shrike” and elias’ chapters changed to “soul catcher”

[brothersnackariahsbitch]

The Ember in the Ashes series absolutely deserves as much attention as all the most popular fantasy books. Those books are so beautifully written and carry such important messages. I’ve never read a book that’s felt so fanciful but still felt so relevant to this world.

"ENAMOR" — COMMISSION WORK

Dropping here this commission piece I did in the past month for the wonderful @/elaiasconstellations (in IG) featuring Elias and Laia from An Ember in the Ashes Series by Sabaa Tahir 🖤🖤🖤

no thoughts, just

“look at me.” he is about to say my name — my heart’s name — the way he did in his mind when i sang him well. and if i let him, i will be undone. “look at me. hel — ”

“blood shrike, captain harper…. i am the blood shrike. you would do well to remember it.”

for a moment, he is frozen, pain flashing nakedly across his face. then he stands and salutes, the consummate mask once more. “of course, blood shrike, sir. permission to return to duty.”

“Curse this world for what it does to the mothers, for what it does to the daughters.

Curse it for making us strong through loss and pain, our hearts torn from our chests again and again.

Curse it for forcing us to endure.”

the ember quartet is now one of my favourite series of all time i’ve probably cried 3 times reading the final book and i cried twice in the third book. i haven’t done this in so long 😭 it’s books like this that remind me why i love reading

[jessread-s]

✩🦁📜Bookish Merch:

My Laia of Serra plushie from @faecrate arrived and I am absolutely in love!! The “An Ember in the Ashes” quartet will forever be one of my favorite series of all time, so I was excited to be able to purchase a plushie with Laia’s fierce likeness during one of faecrate’s many past items sales. I’ll definitely need her at my side for emotional support when I read Sabaa Tahir's newest project upon its release because her books always manage to rip my heart out.
