We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal

4.5

I knew I would like this book before I even started reading when I looked at the synopsis. An Arabian inspired fantasy world with a huntress, an assassin, monsters, magic, and lots and lots of middle eastern/islamic representation. The premise piqued my interest to say the least, and after having finished this book I can confidently say it beyond exceeded my expectations. The authors writing style is just amazing and it often feels poetic throughout the book. Her use of showing multiple pov’s but in the 3rd person is done really well and kept me invested in our two main characters throughout the entire story. I love fantasy adventure stories and this has to be one of my favorites of all time. The character development was so satisfying and though the story ended on a cliff hanger, the events leading up to the end of the story were done so well and had me audibly gasping on multiple occasions. Can’t wait to read We Free the Stars and spend more time in this unique world!
