I went into this thinking it was a standalone for some reason and I do think that might have affected my judgement.
Overall I felt the book was way too long. So much happened but it felt like nothing happened. I think a lot of scenes could have been cut because they felt repetitive and like they were not moving the story forward.
Around the 60% mark I stopped feeling so invested in the story and some of the characters I didn’t care for much like Aisha and the Queen of dunes.
I did enjoy Mazen’s character development. He was probably my favorite POV.
I also enjoyed Loulie and Qadirs relationship. Their dynamic is very strong.
My favorite part of the book was probably the tales in between.
I’m not too interested in picking up the sequel unless I hear really good reviews to pique my interest again.
