“I wonder what it’s like to be with someone who can love you through your rage.”
“If we are lost, God is like water, finding the unknowable path when we cannot”
“People see what they want to. I'm sick of hoping that they'll see me.”
Sabaa Tahir is such a gifted writer. Her An Ember in the Ashes quartet is one of my favorite series of all time. I love how Tahir takes you on the entire roller coaster ride literally until the very end. She ripped my heart out of my chest and completely wrung it out at least three times.
This story is such a departure from her fantasy books but it still put me through the emotional wringer like AEITA's did. Sal and Noor will live in my head forever. I love how Tahir portrayed the different types of grief and rage they felt. It was so nuanced and splicing in the "Misbah" chapters added to that nuance. I absolutely flew through this entire novel.
I think the only thing I disliked was that it felt like the ending was missing something. I'm not exactly sure what it was. It is entirely possible that I just didn't want it to end, though. 😄
Ultimately, I will always buy Tahir's work. Always. Her writing never fails to draw me in. Highly recommend.
