We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal

4.0

---

4 stars and I say this because it’s 5 stars for Nasir and Zafira, for their character development as a couple and as individuals and all the scenes I got of their yearning and desperation. 3 stars for the plot because it really took a backseat after Act 1 I can’t lie. We met back up with the Lion at the very END of Act 2 and I forgot what the hell was going on because I had been so focused on my loves Zafira and Nasir. At least the plot and adventure in this was wasn’t as fever dream-ish as the first book was, not being a magical island really helped.
