AAAAAAAAAAA
Admittedly I saw some spoilers of the book but that didn't stop me from enjoying it so much
It's very well written and the Indonesian translation actually did it justice, and it was a page turner from start to finish. It gave me many mixed emotions in a good way. The dark moments were dark and tense, but the romantic moments between Salama and Kenan were so wholesome and whimsical and it makes me smile a lot while reading.
It's just a really good book, I highly recommend 🍋
