What a beautiful and harrowing story. I have been wanting to read this for a long time, Thirty Names of Night has held space in my mind ever since I finished it and I am so glad I finally got around to this one. This is an absolutely heartbreaking and brutally raw story following a family fleeing the war in Syria told through the eyes of the 12 year old Nour woven together with the tale of a young woman who sets out on an adventure with an esteemed map maker. We explore family, hope, grief, bravery, and how far we would go with and for the people we love.
