Her characters speak to people, which is what makes her books so popular and has gained her the status as a New York Times Best Seller. She gives her readers beautiful pockets of moments amongst a sea of suffering that make the read, the journey, the life worth it. She writes in a fictional universe, yet her characters undergo the trauma of real people in this world every day there is a terrifyingly hopeless feeling attached to that.īut Tahir also writes us out of that state. Her dialogue, concepts, and delivery are simply powerful and compelling. ![]() To describe Tahir’s writing, there is only one word that comes to mind: powerful. The finale to her Ember series, A Sky Beyond the Storm, is an example of such writing. I’ve seen my fair share of tropes, twists, and tricks however, the writing of Sabaa Tahir is one of those very few authors that completely captivate me with every word. As a lover and writer of young adult fiction, there are very few series that leave me feeling emotionally raw and stricken. ![]()
