We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal

2.0

I wanted to like this but could not get into it :/ the setting was very beautiful but nothing resonated with me & I was never moved to anything more than indifference. the ya tropes were also so in your face, and I wish they were being subverted, even if only a little bit.

I think what drew me off plot wise was
Spoiler how quickly zafira got cool about deen being murdered I get it was an accident but she did not learn that for a while. and there kept being lines of how she didn't love him the way he did her I don't care if they weren't in love that was your best friend?? like the insta love with nasir was bad enough but just completely ignoring the fact he (I know it was altair and an accident but again, she did not) killed her best friend was so ?


honestly i've had this on my tbr for 4 years and completely forgot it was ya, which I very very very rarely enjoy, so this one's on me

ikemen are back baby!!!

I am not an isekai girlie but a friend recommended this to me & I love a good historical engagement of necessity. the first few chapters were whatever but the minute I got to the "say my name, come now quickly" part something shifted and I fell to my feet writhing and screaming

such a good time, can't wait to continue reading!

watched oppenheimer, saw rf kuang gave this 5 stars & ran to the library

this was super interesting & I highly recommend to people who missed half the movie’s dialogue because christopher nolan does not believe in vocal isolation
