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 Arawiya’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 bring magic to all of Arawiya. The ending was pretty satisfying, personally, and I loved that the book wrapped up on a happy note after everything.The sequel to the New York Times bestseller I was pretty nervous for all involved as the pieces started coming together and some of the twists were revealed.
I did enjoy how the plot developed through the second half since it seemed to me like we finally! got to where we were supposed to be regarding the main conflict. There was a tone shift as well to something a little more urgent and somber, but that was understandable considering the context of the plot. That made it so I had trouble connecting to the POV characters, Zafira and Nasir, and caring about what was happening with them. I felt like nothing was happening throughout the first half. The writing was still fantastic and I did love the complex world-building and how magic was explored here, but I just found the story so slow. I don’t know… there was just something about We Free the Stars that didn’t quite capture my attention like the previous book did. “We free the stars, shatter the darkness holding us captive, and return the world to the splendor it once was.” 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.
