Upon my reread of this book, it truly has become a comfort read for me, thus the 5 stars. Technically the pacing, etc. should make it a 4 star but this book scratches all of my itches and therefore I love it.

Within the first few chapters, continuing on throughout the book, it is evident what pieces of media inspired Faizal. The Hunger Games, Shadow and Bone, LOTR, and Assassins Creed are all pieces of media referenced, in ways some may say are heavy handed. But, I love all those series so it was nice to have those tropes again, this time in the wonderfully crafted land of Arawiya. 

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll blush, you’ll flip through the pages quickly! Can’t wait to read the sequel finally. I love Altair the best btw.

i enjoyed the plot of this story and the setting felt like it’s own well developed character. that said the main characters were often the most tedious part of the story. at times, the pacing could have been better. for large parts of the story, i didn’t feel emotional connection with any of the characters save a few side characters.  the romantic subplot could have been cut entirely and the book would have benefited thereby. that said i was riveted and plan on reading the next book in the series.

Not what I was expecting and at the same time, exactly what I was expecting. I don't really know what I thought of the book : I had a very hard time to get into the story, but I couldn't put in done once in it... And the end, please !
