• We love a strong woman with personality 
• Nasir is so confusing ?? He doesn’t know what he wants never communicate, it would’ve been more accurate if he was 17 as well but he is 20 
• I like the team but I’ve wish they were a little bit closer 
• Love the mysterious world
• The first half is SO SLOW 
• The ennemies to lovers made sense but wasn’t that intense and they quickly became lovers

Although I was a bit lost with the world building at first I definitely enjoyed the story and loved the complexity of all of the characters, Nasir especially, and hus relationship with Altair. Still, the book was hard to read because often times there were chapters I just wasn't able to be interested in the story, and I was expecting this to be a 5 stars when it's just 4/5

It was a solid YA book, but it's just really not my style. If you anly read YA, I think you would enjoy the book a lot more than I did.

I was so excited to read this book because it got so many good reviews only to be disappointed by the story. At first I disliked Nasir. How can someone be an assassin and be so weak-willed at the same time. My blood boiled when he said the lines "I wanted my father's approval so I became a monster" like wtf is wrong with you! I know he had a terrible time growing up but it's not like he lost his compassion. He still knows what he is doing for his evil father was wrong and it breaks his heart evertime he kills someone innocent but he does it anyway so that his dad can love him wtf. I got soooo tempted to drop the book a third of the way but then things got exciting so I pushed through. But then I started disliking Zafira. It's like she just can't make up her mind. She's all for camaraderie one moment then cold and angry the next. Despite everything the gang has been through, she just can't trust anyone and is always full of suspicion which in turn affects the groups dynamic. Not to mention she was sooo useless at the battle in the end, she can't even keep the Jawarat safe for pete's sake! There were tons of times that I wanted to just throw the book out of frustration and give up on it but I was nearing the end so I just gritted my teeth and tried my best to finish the book. Whew, what a journey. I heard the 2nd book is waaaaaaay better than this though so I look forward to reading that but this one drove me nuts. Lol
