We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal
4.0
I adore this world so so much. Faizal’s writing is encapsulating, and you can’t help but become engrossed in these characters and their mission.
I ached for Zafira. Her need for Nasir, her sorrow in thinking her sister no longer looks up to her, her grief when she remembers Deen.
I loved the Maria’s - they were creepy and a fun edition to allow us more insight into this worlds horrors. Loved the strained conversation between The Lion and Altair and I was surprised how much I loved Lana! Faizal is the queen of slow burn, ouch 😭
“It was always a game, capturing the small displays of Nasir Ghameq’s emotions. A game she liked, she realised. One she could play forever and never tire of”
