I will not write a more detailed summary because it would be 1) Very hard to write and 2) Really long - about 10 pages, maybe more. Apart from that, any summary wouldn't do this book justice. I will only say that it follows Laia and Elias as they try to save Laia's brother from the most secure prison in the Empire while Martial soldiers hunt them down. This doesn't cover all of it, though.
Like you probably would have guessed by now, I have a very high opinion about A Torch Against The Night (and An Ember In The Ashes).
The first thing about it is the plot. There is no good book without a good plot. And this book has an amazing plot. It ensnares you and doesn't let you go. It captivates you. You have to finish the book. To hell with the fact that it is more than 400 pages long. You won't be able to sleep before you finish it.
The next thing is the writing. I need book with good writing. It captivates you as much as the plot. It makes you laugh and cry. And this book made me laugh and cry so much. Well actually it made me cry more than laugh, but still. A Torch Against The Night makes you think about what would happen next. It makes you feel the characters. After reading it for the first time I was thinking about it for months.
I really recommend this book to anyone who is able to get hold of it. Trust me, if you do not read this book, you are missing out on a lot (but you should read An Ember In The Ashes first). When you read this book, all other books will probably feel like they are not that good anymore. It is deep and amazing and hard to digest (for some people). I still cry when I think about it.
