The wait was well worth it indeed, though sadly, even with recaps and my own notes, I still couldn't quite remember everything. But that's a problem I've become use to, lol!Helene is intent on helping Markus kill Keris, for she wants to protect her sister, Livia more than anything. From both Keris and Livia's own husband, Markus. But it doesn't simply due to murder Keris, she has to get the people who support her to see her for what she truly is. Her first step in doing that is to find Elias, who everyone believes dead but Helene knows he's not. If she can prove he's alive that's one step in showing how incompetent Keri is.Elias is struggling to adapt to his new Soul Catcher status, Shaeva is trying to teach him what she can, but he's wanting to be back with Laia more than anything else. Meanwhile we have Laia trying to do what she can to help the Scholars and also stop the Nightbringer from freeing the jinn. Laia is still reeling from the betrayal that was Keenan, but she moves past her old feelings remarkably well. Though the anger of said betrayal is still there.I'll admit that things were pretty intense and slightly chaotic in this one. It took me a good couple of days to read it and throughout I was doing what I could to remember the past book which honestly, I need to work on not doing. There's no time for re-reading anymore, especially books of this length and quality. But as I was reading I was still able to follow the story along well enough, it's just trying to remember people other than our three narrators that made things slightly difficult.I think the one thing that upset me about this book was the fact that our main characters had very little interaction with each other this time around. There were moments here and there when two of them were together in some way. But I miss that togetherness that Elias and Laia had in the previous two. Yes, they weren't always together back then but there were still enough moments of them being there together that helped keep me engage. This time it almost felt like we were reading three different stories going on with each of the characters because of that lack of interaction. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy the book, because I did! I really, really liked this one, I just wish the characters could've been together more. I have a feeling though that might happen in the next and final book, so I am eager for that one to release! Hopefully the wait for that one won't be as long.Since the characters weren't together all that much, there wasn't much time for romance. Happily though, I will say there are a few stolen kisses in a place or two in the novel. I've become a sap now. I need to have just a little, tiny bit of romance in my novels now. I can't help it. It's become a sickness! Lol! It was sad that there weren't more, but there were some, so that's better than none I suppose. My heart aches for Laia and Elias' situation though.I feel like in this one, our three favorites all undergo a transformation of sorts. They all change, whether it will be for the better or not will remain to be seen in the next book. I feel like we're at a good place for 2/3 the characters, the third remains unclear and heart-wrenching because of it.The pacing was spot on in this one! There's a great deal of buildup and delivery to the events that are happening. It's hard to really get into detail about it because I don't want to lean towards spoiler territory, but I can say that the characters moved forward quite a bit. Of course there were the obstacles that were constantly tossing them back, but it made for great storytelling.There were some surprises along the way with this one as well. There was one that I can't say if I saw coming or not. It's possible. I think it was even thought upon at one point but it's been so long I can't remember if it's true! Lol! I'm eager to see what will happen in this final book to come! There was a great deal of action happening at the end of the novel that had me in a tailspin wondering what this will mean for the next step in the journey.I wouldn't really say it ended with a massive cliffhanger. I've been seeing people agonizing over it and wanting the final book asap. I'm thinking it was more just for the love of the story than anything detrimental. Yes, things were happening quickly and we get a startling revelation at the end, but it's not a cliffhanger that had me screaming in agony. So that tells you while the wait for the final book will be long and painful, I won't be slowly dying and feeling as if my soul were being crushed day by day, piece by piece. Just your average agonizing wait for the next installment in a series! Lol!A Reaper at the Gates was a read well worth the wait! It was as exciting and splendid as expected! The rich culture and exotic environment Sabaa has created is only the start of the appeal to this magnificent series! It's been quite the trip and I cannot wait to see how it will all come to an end! I can only hope that Sabaa won't crush my soul in the end!Overall Rating 4.5/5 stars ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022* I enjoyed reading the book. It's very interesting. I like how is narrated. I can't wait to read the next one ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Now on a downward trend from books 1 and 2 *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2022* I gave this four stars because despite my issues with it which I will explain below, I still think its pretty good writing especially given what's out there in the fantasy genre these days.My major issue with this book was that having gone through two whole books already in the series, I was sadly disappointed to see very little growth in the main characters. I will explain below. *Spoiler alert*Elias: How on earth did Elias justify choosing to give Laia a feel good hug at the cost of letting ghosts escape to wrack havoc and kill so many? I would have thought Shaeva's death would have taught him a thing or two about the cost of emotional distractions. Reading this book I found myself forgetting that he was a fully trained mask. He often was just getting played by the situation and reacting instead of outplotting his foes.Blood Shrike: I was disappointed by how she kept insisting on under estimating Keris and making asinine excuses all so that she could keep her hand firmly in the sand when there were so many warning signs that Keris was once again, on the verge of springing a trap. Instead of going into mask mode and thinking like her enemy so as to better anticipate her moves she just kept running around in circles and making the same errors over and over again.Laia: Ah as for Laia, she really disappointed me. This character had so much potential to grow into a really formidable opponent for the Nightbringer and Keris but she keeps being so foolish and childish. for example going into the Jinn grove despite fully knowing the consequences. Then choosing a very inopportune time to throw a hissy fit at Cook for doing what she had to to save her family from a worse evil.The only characters who show any growth, cunning or adaptability are the evil ones like Keris and the Nightbringer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/103177253-a-reaper-at-the-gates-an-ember-in-the-ashes](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/103177253-a-reaper-at-the-gates-an-ember-in-the-ashes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
