oh my god this book 
this book feels like a work of art 

it’s honestly this close 🤏🏻 to perfect let me explain 
  • first of all the writingggg  I’m not gonna lie you’re gonna need a dictionary but trust it’s worth it. it’s lyrical and poetic and beautiful it seems to dance on the paper 
  • the characters oh my the Zumra<3 especially the core four, they’re everything. the way they’re connected and how they would do anything for each other I love them <3 
  • Nasir and Zafira are so so cute I love them. I’m a sucker for slow burn and a sad boy who loves his girl unconditionally and this was exactly my cup of tea <3 honestly my only complain is not having more scenes with them 
  • sooo the lion kskdkdk I love love love when the villain is fully developed and you can really understand where he’s coming from, even better if he’s hot hihi (I can fix him!!) 
  • I loved how we got the little Altair x Lana plotline it really deepened Altairs character and made Lana’s outcome so much sadder 
  • and Kifah I love her sm I wished we had seen more of her though. more of her story, more vulnerable scenes and also a little more about her ending (what I mean is I would’ve loved her point of view as well) 

okay now 
  • I missed the climax like it was just over at the end. and somehow the fight didn’t seem that grand even though people died it didn’t feel like much of a big thing unfortunately 
  • The book was just over at the end hahah like suddenly there were only two pages left :,)
