A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

1.5

Heist should be fast paced. It should be mostly actions, I don’t need fighting scenes, but heist book should be THRILLING. It should be 20% preparation and 80% HEIST!!! The characters should be well developed and distinct! They all should be a strong enough character on their own! 58% in and nothing exciting have happened, wtf is going on??!!

I DNF Hafsah Faizal first series the moment Zafira’s friend got killed and she literally didn’t reacted. Like, at most there was a paragraph talking about it and then she moved on to be ‘lovey dovey’ with the killer. That pretty much speaks how I feel for Faizal’s characters. She keeps telling us that these characters are close like family, and this one is atrracted to that one… yet nothing to show their relationships. 

Anyway, DNF at 58%. If I decided to check out Faizal’s next book in the future, I hope there are improvements because I truly wish to support her
