We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal

5.0

Darkness surged in his veins. Power bled from her bones.

The battle on Sharr is over. The Arz has fallen. Altair may be captive, but Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are bound for Sultan’s Keep, determined to finish the plan Altair set in motion. But they are low on resources and allies alike, and the kingdom teems with fear of the Lion of the Night’s return.

As the zumra plots to overthrow Arawiya's darkest threat
Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood. He must learn to hone his power..
Zafira battles a very different darkness festering in her through her bond with the Jawarat
In spite of everything, Zafira and Nasir find themselves falling into a love they can’t stand to lose.
But time is running out, and if order is to be restored, drastic sacrifices will have to be made.

Thank you, Goodreads and Fierce Reads for the chance to read We Free the Stars!

Ok, first I am jealous of everyone else who read the first book! I have definitely missed out. This book is amazing! The way Hafsah Faizal writes, you feel you know all the characters. The dedication that you see in each character and their relationship to each other, you can't help but fall in love. The world building in this book is just absolutely beautiful. I don't think I have ever come across a book where the end didn’t leave me wanting or asking well what about this or that. Not that it was neatly tied in a pretty little bow, but you felt good with it ending that way. You will cry! You will laugh! You will get frustrated and in the end you will absolutely love this book! And to think this is only her second book released {that I know of at least} Hafsah Faizal will be an amazing author! I can't wait to see what comes next from her! Happy reading everyone!
