3/5 - No commitment to plot or relationships.
I had some questions about the plot such as, does Maram REALLY need a body double? Would’ve been nice to get some confirmation of past events where she was almost murdered. And, why did Amani agree to reveal her true identity to other sources quickly and trustingly? Also, the book is kinda sci-fi which I don’t typically love.
It was a very fast read for me and I wasn’t as bored as I was with other books. But I don’t think I’d read this again.

i really enjoyed this book and i loved the world. most of the characters had great personalities and the story was interesting.

3.5/5 rounded up. Honestly i could have done without the space aspect (fantasy elements feel like a better fit) however, this was a really intriguing story. It definitely ends without things tied up but I have learned a sequel is on the way. Will be reading it!
this is a reread for me but i'm writing a review now to say ppl who ship amani/maram are real and valid (and me)
I loved it but I also found her writing difficult to follow. For someone who whizzes through books... it wasn’t actually all that bad to have to go back and reread.
This is one of the books that is the problem with the tendancy toward trilogies. There is clearly so much interesting in this world, and yet there is no tension. Well, not until the end--when the author demonstrated that she can create tension, but just wasn't bothering because this book is mostly just set up for the rest of the trilogy.
this was great. i love the world and the plot of this story, and i really enjoy the relationship between maram and amani and i cannot wait to see where things go from here. the only critique i have for this book is that the romance felt a bit too insta-lovey and i would have liked for it to have developed more and deeper, but its not bad. i still like it, but it couldve been better. anyway. cant wait to pick up the next book!!
