The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem

Thank you NetGalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for the ARC.

Sara Hashem's 'The Jasad Heir' is a great book! It is an Egyptian-inspired story with great world-building and complex characters. The story dives into history, family secrets, and the complicated rules that govern the world. This is part one of The Scorched Throne duology, I believe, and I am honestly so excited for the next book! And this was a debut novel from Sara Hashem, wow!

i couldn't shake the feeling that it lacks sufficient details in world-building and the magic system ... it'd be so much better if the author took the time to gradually piece together the description of the realm, as that would benefit readers' understanding of the world. it has a promising plot and interesting character dynamics, but personally i found it rather underwhelming and not to my liking.

loved it except for the part where the love interest like very physically hurts the fmc (like breaks bones). the world building is very neat—i’m excited to see more of that in the second book and see where the romance goes.

SO good. I haven’t sat and read like this in a long time. I truly couldn’t put the book down after about the the 45% mark, that’s not to say this book is slow or anything. I found the pace to be perfect. These characters!! I’m going to be thinking about Arin and Sylvia for a long time. I need the second book to be published..
