ADORABLE, SWEET, LOVE IT! I am obsessed with the sounds of oman, the writing was so easy yet descriptive and I felt like i was in Aref’s pocket next to his stones along for the ride. Siddi is just the best character, everybody deserves a Siddi in their life! 
Side note: Icompletely understand how he feels: being a child and subjecting to big changes is hard and the thing is it never gets easier growing up you just kind of get desensitized to it. Letting go is never a total joy on the heart even when it’s the best option for you.
