Or I suppose “morning” would be more accurate, lol! This was incredibly compelling from the first page the kind of book that held my attention from the start and NEVER let go. Well, I hope no one expects me to do anything productive today, because this kept me up reading LATE into the night. Martinez does an excellent job with the nuances of this relationship, and that made From the Embers a very bingeable read. This couple’s journey to happily ever after is hard fought and so very different than most, and I soaked up the subtle changes in their interactions. So this grabbed my attention and held it the whole way through! It’s a heavy book that gets lighter as it goes on, and I loved the uplifting, heartfelt vibes towards the end. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC before this released, but that meant that I went in completely blind – the blurb was super vague, no one else had reviewed it yet, and I’d only read lighter books by Martinez in the past. I still think back on the book very fondly, and hope many new readers will love it soon! From the Embers is enjoying a sudden surge in popularity, and I’m very happy about that… because it was one of my Top 20 of 2021 picks! In case you missed my review at the time, I’m sharing it again now.
