Mirage by Somaiya Daud
4.0
While the actual story is quite basic, what makes this fantasy-SF hybrid worth picking up is the wonderfully textured Moroccan-inspired setting and lovely writing by Daud.
I became quite enamored of Daud's emotive storytelling style, which is perfect for a tale of intrigue and doomed romance. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did an excellent job with her voice acting and pronounciation of places and less familiar words. As it turned out though, I ended up finishing the last 25% in text as I wanted to know more quickly how things turned out at the end.
In case you are wondering, of course it is a cliffhanger ending, and yes, I will be reading the next book!
