A review by danielledtrick
Mirage by Somaiya Daud

I really wanted to like this and I felt like there was a lot of potential but it just didn’t work for me. I spent most of this book waiting for ~anything~ to happen. I also just wasn’t in the mood to read it but tried to power through it anyway, which was probably a mistake.

I like the world building but wish it was actually sci fi instead of fantasy that just happens to be set in space. I liked the dynamic between the MC and the princess but didn’t care about the love story at all. I liked the commentary about colonialism but thought she was waaaayyy too trusting and decided to flip into a rebel and trust total strangers at the potential cost of her life much too quickly and easily.
