We Hunt the Flame

Hafsah Faizal

3.87 AVERAGE


I have been thinking about this book constantly since I've finished and it definitely worked my brain to sort how I felt about it. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to get the next book. There are so many themes that as the reader I think we get to see an interesting duality. Not just between our main characters Zafira and Nasir, but especially with truth and knowledge and also how we perceive darkness. I really felt a lot of this came together nicely in Part Three "The Lies We Eat" and while certain truths came to light, we were also left with as many questions and doubts about the knowledge we obtained.

There were many sections of prose while reading I just needed to put my book down and let the quote sink in. I will say there are action sequences that I think could have used some more clarity, but with the chaos of the scene I let it slide. I also wish the glossary and pronunciation guide was included in the book. I have my complaints about how things unraveled, but I am excited to pick up the next book to see how Hafsah Faizal tells us the rest of this story.
