moonsai 's review for:

Mirage by Somaiya Daud
3.0

This is North African Sci-fi, that sounds to amazing, I had to pick it up. Everyone had Muslim names and I could recognise a lot of my culture in their culture <3.
The world building is so unique and the map is so detailed.

The poetry aspects were so interesting and I loved the illustrations of the castles. The old cover was so pretty too but the new cover is gorgeous

At some parts the writing seemed a bit clumsy/repetitive but it’s a debut and I see the potential but I don’t think I’ll be continuing on in this duology.

I hated that redemption arc because some things are unforgivable. Not everyone can have an redemption arc like Zuko. Also , I didn’t care for the romance.
