A review by bookishbasma
The War to Save the Worlds by Samira Ahmed
3.0
I always say that I look for more family relationships in books, and this one nails it perfectly! Amira and Hamza have the funniest and most relatable sibling relationship, and it was enjoyable to read!
In terms of Muslim rep, this was solid, and fantastic for any middle grade reader! The tidbits of Arabic were fantastic to see and I would highly recommend on that aspect.
While I think this book had a really good premise and theme, I think it felt flat in terms of world building for me. While parts of it made sense, the epic-ness that could accompany this world fell a little flat for me. The plot buildup to the final battle with the big, bad villain was also just disappointing to me.
I received an e-arc of this title from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
