Mirage by Somaiya Daud

4.0

I feel Mirage is a breath of fresh air in the Science Fiction genre. It was enlightening to read a diverse book that takes place on a different planet, in a different system, with POC characters. The writing is vivid and engrossing. The environment the main protagonist is in is hostile, lethal, and cunning, and watching her grow to successfully become as a body-double is riveting. It's like reading The Diabolic, but with a rich, Middle Eastern inspired culture.

I'm excited to see that this is a first installment to a trilogy, and wish to see where the twist and turns take these characters.
