Dear Samantha Young, I just want to say that for one day, and one day only, I would love to be inside your head. The stories that you come up with are just … beyond fantastic! You really know how to entertain your readers and keep them coming back for more!Dear GCReaders, If you haven’t picked up a book by Samantha Young, let me tell you, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! I am making my way down a list of all her books and so far NOT ONE has left me disappointed. I am still amazed at how good this author writes and the stories she can tell. I was so invested in the story of Ari and her world that for three days straight I read book one, two, and three. I literally locked myself in this house and did not stop reading them back to back. I loved it!Let me tell you what I loved most about Borrowed Ember. The growth of the characters and the way they fell right into their skin. The first book I have to admit, I wasn’t a big fan of Ari. She sort of bugged me and about two times I thought about putting the book down. I didn’t, and only because I knew Samantha Young had something up her sleeve. I knew I wasn’t going to be let down. I am so happy I ended up continuing it. They really grow throughout the entire series and I love how Young can really take her readers by surprise. She does not hold back and there is no limit in her worlds. For those who aren’t familiar with this series, The Fire Spirits series pulls you into a world of The Jinn a.k.a Genies. This was so refreshing for me and I think that also added to why I love this series so much. It’s different, entertaining, and unique. The characters are very believable and everything runs at a very smooth pace. You get just enough in every chapter.There was one little issue I had with the book and it was just one event that took place that left me wondering Why go through all that, if it were that easy to take it away? I guess you will just have to read to find out what I am talking about. I highly recommend this series, and all other books by Samantha Young. 4.5 Out 5 stars!
