Book description
March 15th
Dear Bookish Friends,
I finally emerged from the spell that is We Free the Stars, and I'm still catching my breath. Hafsah Faizal has done something extraordinary here-she's taken everything we thought we knew from the first book and shattered it beautifully.
The audiobook narration pulled me straight into Zafira's unraveling mind. You can actually hear the voices she's battling, the darkness clawing at her sanity with each passing moment. When she and Nasir are navigating their impossible love story, the emotional weight comes through so viscerally that I found myself stopping my walk just to listen to another chapter.
What struck me most was how Faizal doesn't shy away from the messy parts of heroism. These characters are genuinely struggling-low on allies, resources dwindling, and an entire kingdom terrified of what they might become. The way Nasir wrestles with his blood magic, learning to weaponize it against both his father and the Lion, feels raw and authentic.
The romance between Nasir and Zafira isn't just swoon-worthy; it's complicated by genuine stakes. They're literally fighting against time while falling for each other, and you feel every moment of their desperation. The audiobook format makes their connection even more intimate-you're practically inside their heads as they make these impossible choices.
By the end, I was completely invested in their mission to restore magic to Arawiya, even knowing the sacrifices required. Faizal delivers a conclusion that's both devastating and hopeful, exactly how I love my duologies to end.
This one stays with you long after the final word.
Yours in literary chaos,
Maya
