aprilius_maximus 's review for:
We Hunt the Flame
by Hafsah Faizal
3.5 stars!
Thank you so much to the publisher for sending me a review copy!
Okay, here's the thing.
The first bit and the last bit of the book = LIT
The 300 pages in the middle = LIT...ERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS
Things I loved:
- the writing is GORGEOUS. Faizal has an actual gift, it's so beautiful.
- the feminist undertones. It's clear that the main character lives in a world where women are oppressed and is fighting to change it.
- ENEMIES TO LOVERS!!! (literally enemies - he's a murderer/assassin who kills for his evil dad who is the Sultan and is sent to murder Zafira, SO THAT'S FUN)
- Altair. He's the best character in the whole book. WHAT A GEM.
The main thing that affected my enjoyment of the book:
- It's SOOOOOO slow. Like I said previously, the beginning and ending of the book are awesome and fast paced aND THAT ENDING!!!! i'm shook. But, so slow. The middle section is literally just a whoooole lot of nothing.
BUT this is such a cool story with great twists and a shocking ending that definitely has me wanting the next book, so I'd still recommend it!
