We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal
3.0
3.5 stars.
I don’t do half stars but this book deserves it. It was so close to being 4 stars but there was just something missing that I can’t quite understand. I like the characters but I don’t think they were written well enough to allow the reader to bond with them to the best potential.
This book is refreshing - we don’t see much of Middle Eastern mythology? Folklore? and it was interesting to see it embedded so well in the book but, again, it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been.
Normally, I wouldn’t read the rest of the series after feeling this way about a book but I am interested to see how the characters develop and now that the world building is set (I hope) maybe there’ll be more time in book 2 to fill in what was missing in this book.
