THE REVIEW IS POSTED
I dived into this book ecstatically because it sounded so good and intriguing and honestly I thought that I would love this book after reading it. well, the book was indeed good but I have to admit that I didn't love it. I wanted to love the book but I couldn't. I liked this book though and I did not regret spending my free time by reading this book.
The writing style in this book was pretty and I liked it and I also loved that this book made me open dictionary a lot because of the vocabularies that I didn't know because that way I could increase my knowledge about vocabularies! the plot of the book was slow-paced but it did not drag on or boring. I think this is the kind of slow pacing that does not make you feel bored because in that moment you also get to know the characters and all the things that happen are also interesting to know.
The characters were also pretty good. They weren't boring at all especially Altair. He's pretty funny and made me laugh and roll my eyes a few times and I loved Benyamin! he's so wise and his words soothed my heart. I have massive respect for this guy. He's my favorite character in this book. But the main characters, Zafira and Nasir, I don't know what to say about them. Zafira didn't annoy me but she's also not my favorite character. She's just ... fine. On the other hand, Nasir quite annoyed me. Look, I feel sorry for him but most of the time when I read his POV, I felt annoyed. I both understood and didn't understand him. Does that even make sense?
there's romance in this book. To my delight, it was slow burn and enemies to lovers kind of romance. YAY! but to my disappointment, the romance wasn't as good as I thought. It lacked romance spark or intensity or whatever it was that could make me squeal or melt my icy heart. I initially thought that there was a love triangle but thankfully it's not. So if you're like me, that you avoid books that have a love triangle, then don't worry! it may seemed that way, but I don't think it is.
I liked this book but not enough to want to continue reading the sequel. Thank you for reading and liking this review. I appreciate so much and hope you all have an amazing day!

I'm happy to hear that it's a very nice read for you. 😄
I'm still not far into the book and it's fine so far. The book makes me so curious about everything, which is a good thing! 😊 And I'm so excited that I'm gonna spend a whole night reading this book.

Yes! I don't why but reading at night feels different to me than reading at noon or any other time. I feel more relaxed and focused and you're absolutely right. It really feels magical. ☺️

I have this book sitting on my shelf...I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. Let me know how it is I am in need of a good fantasy to get into.
I've definitely been excited for this book since I first heard about it and am intending to pick it up later this month :D I hope you love it!

YAY! I'm glad to hear that. I'm nearly done reading the book and well, the book certainly isn't boring and my attention is glued to the book every time I read it but for me the book isn't amazing (at least so far) but it's good though! 😊

@ arini
Thank you! 💕
Well, for me the romance wasn’t good. Boring even. But it’s just my perspective. Maybe you’ll think differently? If you’re interested to read it, go for it! Maybe you’ll enjoy it more than I did?😊 and about the three stars, most of the time I don’t continue reading a series if I give the previous book 3 stars, but sometimes I do still continue reading the series. Sometimes.

Great review :D
I don't have it on my tbr, but I think I wanted to give it a try. Your review is giving it a +

Great review! I'm currently reading it and I'm only 70 pages or so in but I already feel like this won't be a book I like and put it on hold for now. I'm still conflicted whether to continue or not, especially because there are so many mixed reviews
@ Henrieke
Thanks a lot! Oh I’m sorry to hear that. It’s not a pleasant feeling when we feel we won’t like the book we’re reading. I personally think the book wasn’t exactly bad but it wasn’t great either but I also think at the same time that you’re doing the right thing and I completely understand you for putting the book on hold because I’d also do the same thing if I were in your position.

I'm currently reading this book and I agree with everything in your review. The main characters are just plain boring and the romance is pretty meh? This is such a standard YA fantasy novel and I don't get the hype. Disappointed so far :/
