We Free The Stars

Fell in love with the characters and their world. If you don’t understand Arabic I think you will be very confused as there are a lot of Arabic references in both books.

I was very excited to receive this as I had read the previous book a few months back and am looking forward to reading this. I bought the hard back book of we hunt the flame and I was worried that the paper back would be a different size than the hard cover but I was delighted to see they were the same dimensions relatively. They stand side by side at the same height and similar thickness. Very aesthetic. Overall happy with this purchase.

Not a quick read. Reader enjoyed the book.

Beautiful

The battle on Sharr is over. The dark forest has fallen. Despite the fact that Altair is in captivity, Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are heading toward Sultan's Keep with the intention of completing the plan he started: putting the Sisters of Old's hearts back in each caliphate's minaret and restoring magic to all of Arawiya.The plot reveals how the darkness overthrows the kingdom, about the magic that is in Nasir's blood and how he handles it, as well as about Zafira's struggle with the Jawarat—a darkness that hums with voices and pushes her to the edge of sanity—which she fears unleashing.As the darkness closes in on them much faster, Nasir and Zafira feel themselves falling over one another and can't bear to lose. However, time is running out to achieve their ends, and if order is to be restored, drastic sacrifices will have to be made.I definitely enjoyed this book more than the first one, with lots of magic and mysterious twists and turns.I must admit that the author's linguistic writing was impeccable. The pace was moderate at the first half and at the end it was quite fast.I loved the character development and the growing relationship between Nasir and Zafira. They were absolutely adorable, and the slow burn romance was amazing. There were several interesting side characters but Altair was my favourite, with his strong and hilarious personality. I think there were a lot of elements within it that could have been executed better or just weren't necessary. Overall, it was a great read.

Comprei sem ter lido o primeiro só porque achei lindo e tava na promoção? Sim, e é isso.

Very good book arrived in perfect condition which is very rare to see when ordering books from Amazon

La cubierta está bien al igual que las páginas. Las esquinas están ligeramente golpeadas al igual que el lomo.La reseña es únicamente del estado del producto y no de la historia. Sólo desearía que mejoraran la protección de los libros en el paquete porque a veces llega sólo la caja con el libro, sin algo que lo proteja de posibles golpes.

After several months of procrastinating the end of the Sands of Arawiya duology, I finally brought myself to reading We Free the Stars. This book gave me more angst than I ever thought possible, officially bringing Nasir and Zafira in the list of my favorite couples. While I did enjoy them a lot in the first book, the angst in this one makes up for their quick buildup. It was glorious. At one point I literally yelled “just f—”…well, you get what I mean.The characters were a confirmation and a surprise at the same time. Zafira and Altair, I already loved, but Nasir turned into my thirst trap. I was wholly prepared to give my heart and soul to Altair one more time, but Nasir swept me off my feet. I love him. I think my sister and I have officially found our respective book boyfriends for the series. Order is restored! Another surprising character was Kifah. She was kind of overshadowed by the other characters in We Hunt the Flame, but she truly shined here. Kifah was the perfect shoulder to Zafira’s understandable brood, at moments witty and ironic and wise in others. We also got the opportunity to see more of Zafira’s sister, Lana. I loved her character!The only sour note was the missing Storyline That Was Meant To Be. The ending of We Hunt the Flame had me believe we would be seeing a hate-to-love romance of epic proportions, but alas, it wasn’t the case. Either the author had to cut it out due to lack of page time, or she’s secretly planning to return to the world of Arawiya in the future. I truly hope it’s the latter, because there were a lot of instances where we’re teased just how perfect these two could be together, but for the time being I remain a little disappointed, seeing how much I was looking forward to it. Who do I need to beg for this to happen, pretty please?In my heart, this is a five star on everything else, but because of the missing storyline, I’m bringing it down to four.

Me encanta esta autora y la representación de la cultura de Oriente Medio es especial y a la vez conmovedora. Lo recomiendo.
