Mirage by Somaiya Daud
4.0

I really enjoyed this. I liked the world building and the characters, and I was particularly intrigued by the development of Maram's and Amani's relationship. This is a sci-fi that reads like fantasy, with beautiful writing and poetry. This book is more character driven and we don't get as much action and twists as in plot driven books, but I quite enjoyed that aspect as ist gave me a calm reading experience. But it feels like something was missing to make it a 5 star read for me. Like the middle of the book felt a little bland, and everything went just a little bit too smoothly. The ending intrigued me and I'm glad that I won't have to wait too long to continue with book two. If you haven't already, I'd definitely recommend to give this book a try!
