I am a member of the Official Qadir Fan Club for reasons what the hell and oh my god. 

I had an inkling I was going to love this book, and I pushed it off for so long out of fear I wouldn’t love it, but then I read it and became OBSESSED with it. Now I can’t wait for the sequel, which won’t come out until November, so I’m sorta devastated. 

I love Mazen and Loulie and Aisha and and and!! I’m really loving what the author did for Aisha’s story arc. It was amazing to see her transformation. Truly though, I felt like every character was transformed by the end in a monumental way. I really enjoyed that they all grew together. 

Another thing I loved was the storytelling within the story. It was nice to step out of the actual narrative briefly to hear Mazen’s stories. I

I also enjoyed the magic system. I was mesmerized. All the plot twists were great, and that ending! I finished this book and just stared at the page in shock. I need book 2!!! And Omar’s secrets?? Omg??

Lastly, Qadir and Loulie’s relationship!!! I love them!!!! They love each other so much!!!! I love that they love each other without being in love. Platonic love is important too!!
