We Free the Stars (Sands of Arawiya, 2) Hardcover – January 19, 2021

Initial ThoughtsThere’s nothing like reading 450+ books between the first and second book in a series to remind you how much you missed the world. I read We Hunt the Flame in May of 2019 and oh wow was I frustrated with the ending. I actually preorder my copy of this book in October of 2019 and here we are in 2021 just talking about it. Needless to say, I was excited to read this book.Some Things I LikedStunning world building with lush descriptions. As mentioned above, I read a TON of books between books 1 and 2, but, all that did was mature my reading taste. While I might have rebuffed the poetic language in book 1, I craved it in book 2. Hafsah Faizal paints such rich pictures I felt like I could close my eyes and see what Zafira, Nasir, or any of my favorites were seeing at any given moment.That romance. Never have I ever been so tortured by slow burn romance and loved it so much. I probably had a moment every other chapter where I wanted to either shake Zafira or Nasir and be like “JUST SAY IT!” The tension that Hafsah created was nothing short of phenomenal.Altair. My heart hurt every moment he wasn’t with the zumra. He’s one of my favorite characters of all time. His wit, his smile in the face of danger, the way he mercilessly teases Nasir, I would read a million spin off stories about him.The ending. The build to the end was everything I wanted it to be and more. It was just what I wanted to see.Series ValueI would love to read more books set in this world. Prequels, sequels, side stories, you name it. I’m very excited to read Hafsah’s next series, which is supposed to be set in the same world but about new characters.Final ThoughtsI devoured this book. I read it all in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. This book was WELL worth the wait.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Recommendations for Further ReadingAn Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir – if you want a book that will literally destroy you emotionally and make you feel all the feelings, try this completed seres.A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal – if you want more of this amazing world but also a little bit of Vampires and Arthurian legend, look no further than Hafsah’s next series.

One of the most beautiful books I’ve read in years

The author tears the strings of your heart placing your imagination in the story.Allowing you to feel what reality denys or gives you in a new light as only the right words can do.

I truly enjoyed this book and devoured it in one sitting. Don't miss an enthralling adventure with people you will fall in love with. This deserves to be made into a movie

I don’t know if I accidentally bought pre owned? But, other than pages that looked like they were cut in a rush, and a little gouge on the side, the book seemed brand new!

We Free the Stars is such a great book. It's the squeal to We Free the Stars. It's about Zafira and Nasir going through even more trial's while trying to free Altair for captivity of the Loin of the Night. As we go through the story, we see Zafira and Nasir fall in love with each other. Some parts that quite enjoyed in the book were the fight scenes. Mostly because the way Hafsah Faizal describes each scene, I can imagine each part in m head. I feel like it would make a really good movie or TV show. In other words, if you like a romance adventure novel, then I suggest reading this book. But I'd probably start with the first one.

Hafsah Faisal has created a beautiful story filled with conflicting characters with motives and agencies of their own. At times I felt the emotions and realities of the characters’ situations were out of synch with how they spoke/reacted, but those were far and few between. I love how beautiful each sentence is and how wonderfully Faisal paints the images of her story. I love the Arab influence and rich culture she weaves into her story. This was a great ending to an amazing story. I will definitely be eager to read more of her work!

“Knowing you can lose something is what makes it more precious.”Totally fell in love with this story. It taught me a new way to love what is broken and to understand the value in it. It taught me to fight and never give up. It taught me to believe and hope till the end.An amazing continuation and conclusion to such a well written tale. I do not often fall in love with the supporting characters but I sure did in this book and that even included the Jarawat. Faizal wrote this story in an intriguing way and there were times I was mad, times I cried, times I was like “WHAT!!!” and I appreciate every single part of it that made up those moments. Shukran Faizal for sharing your heart with us as seen in this book.If you’re considering reading this book, please do. There’s a lot to learn from it.

Comprei sem ter lido o primeiro só porque achei lindo e tava na promoção? Sim, e é isso.

La cubierta está bien al igual que las páginas. Las esquinas están ligeramente golpeadas al igual que el lomo.La reseña es únicamente del estado del producto y no de la historia. Sólo desearía que mejoraran la protección de los libros en el paquete porque a veces llega sólo la caja con el libro, sin algo que lo proteja de posibles golpes.

We free the stars is the sequel to We hunt the flame and the last book in the Sands of Arawiya duology by Hafsah Faizal.Even if the battle on Sharr is over, there's still a lot to do. They still need to face The Lion, restoring the hearts of the Sisters of Old and they also need to restore magic to all Arawiya. Nasir is trying to keep control of the magic inside him and Zafira is fighting her own darkness and her bond with the Jawarat. Those two have fall in love with each other but sacrifice will need to be made if they want to restore order.A great conclusion to this story. Looking foward to read the next book of Hafsah Faizal.

I do not know if the words exist to express what I felt(and am feeling) while turning pages of this book. This will stay with me forevermore. I am swelling with hope, with love and with joy only because of you Hafsah❤️and our Zumra🌻❤️
