My only tiny complaint was that it took me a minute to get into and understand how the magic system was connecting with the larger plot. And I’m pretty sure that ending added years to my life. The impassioned kisses and utterly tender words whispered.
Anytime Zafira and Nasir were in the same location I got all of the giddy heart flutters waiting for them to connect. I loved the balance between plot and character drive. Altair who I just want to be best friends with and Kifah who rounds out this crew with her loyalty and sharp wit. Nasir who is clearly the biggest cinnamon roll alive. I loved Zafira and her fiery, determined nature. I probably will forget to name them all, but the main characters and supporting cast are well thought out and flow into the story perfectly. Highly recommend the audio) for me to read it and I’m so happy I did!! It took the audio coming to my library (which by the way, is AMAZING.
Especially since I gave the first book 3.5 stars and wasn’t convinced to pick this up for awhile.
Some dulogies really hit with that second book. Lush and striking, hopeful and devastating, We Free the Stars is the masterful conclusion to the Sands of Arawiya duology by New York Times–bestselling author Hafsah Faizal. In spite of the darkness enclosing ever faster, Nasir and Zafira find themselves falling into a love they can’t stand to lose…but time is running out to achieve their ends, and if order is to be restored, drastic sacrifices will have to be made. Zafira battles a very different darkness festering in her through her bond with the Jawarat-a darkness that hums with voices, pushing her to the brink of her sanity and to the edge of a chaos she dare not unleash. He must learn to hone his power into a weapon, to wield not only against the Lion but against his father, trapped under the Lion’s control.
But they are low on resources and allies alike, and the kingdom teems with fear of the Lion of the Night’s return.Īs the zumra plots to overthrow the kingdom’s darkest threat, Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood. Altair may be captive, but Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are bound for Sultan’s Keep, determined to finish the plan he set in motion: restoring the hearts of the Sisters of Old to the minarets of each caliphate, and finally returning magic to all of Arawiya.
