kimbongiorno 's review for:
Mirage
by Somaiya Daud
She may be poor and forgotten, living a life of fear, but she has her family and a secret love of poetry (that is now banned by those in power) that keeps her happy.
Then she's kidnapped by the crown, for a genetic lottery made her face look exactly like the cruel princess's, and that princess needs a body double due to all the people who want to kill her.
While perfecting the princess's bite, dismissive attitude, and overall horribleness she's known for, Amani begins to understand why the princess is who she is. She also gets to know the fiancé.
This is one of those stories that you read and wonder what you would do in the characters' positions, then watch as assumptions they have about one another (and we hold about them) unravel, challenging their opinions (and ours). Beautifully written and layered, this isn't just about perseverance, it's about friendship, letting people in, sacrifices we make (personally and politically), and love.
Definitely recommend it.
