🦇 We Hunt the Flame Book Review 🦇

❓ #QOTD What was the last epic fantasy you read? ❓ 🦇 People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya--but neither wants to be.

🦇 War is brewing and the Arz sweeps closer, engulfing the land in shadow. To save her family, Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic and stop the Arz. Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds--and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine. Will they make it out alive, or find something more than the prize they were sent to find?

💜 Mashallah! I'm going to try and HORRIBLY fail to convey my love for this book (you can totally tell I'm a writer some days, can't you?). We Hunt the Flame is everything you romantasy lovers could ever ask for with an eloquent grasp of language most writers could only hope to achieve. Hafsah Faizal's Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy transcends pen and page. Her characters are brutally flawed, aching with familial pressures, loss, and pain, clinging to thin threads of hope for more; each with unique voices, motivations, and quirks that bring them off the page and into our homes (and hearts). Your feet will crunch over the ice of Demenhur, traverse the Sharr's forestry, tiptoe across glossy tiled floors of Sultan's Keep. With every breath, you'll smell kibbeh garnished with mint or the zest of Kifah's rich spices over rabbit, taste the tang of zataar or rich qahwa against your tongue. You know I love when stories make a character's culture relatable through food, but reading We Hunt the Flame had me craving ma'amoul and katayef in the worst way. Okay, getting side-tracked.

💜 If the vivid imagery and powerful prose don't capture you, the characters will. Zafira is burdened with responsibility yet forced to hide her identity as a woman under a hook and cloak, presenting her accomplishments as those of a man. She feeds her entire village, expecting and receiving nothing in return. Her heart is heavy with grief and guilt--much as Nasir's is. That parallel creates a foundation for their slow-burn romance, their chemistry undeniable but their sense of duty, guilt, and heavy hearts getting in the way. Oh, and Nasir was sent to kill Zafira, so that's an issue, too. (Sneaking back into this review after reading We Free the Stars: khara, it gets SO MUCH MORE INTENSE!!!). They're snippy and bitter with one another, those quick barbs adding to the tension between them, and yet there's a spark of mutual respect and understanding they've never found in anyone else. If you love an "I hate everyone but you" kind of romance, this is it!

💜 Speaking of snipe, Altair. Sweet baby boy, his sass is EVERYTHING. Altair and Nasir's bromance (*coughs*) is an enemies to besties mess in the making. Alongside our other side characters, Benyamin and Kifah, these five create a found family "zumra" you'll absolutely adore.

💙 My only issue was the pacing, slowed due to the amount of introspection. Zafira and Nasir aren't the type of characters to talk out their feelings with others; of COURSE they're going to internalize everything. While I recognize that this was the only way the story would work, it did cause the story to drag at certain points. I also guessed at a few things, but Faizal sprinkled the breadcrumbs of her story with care, creating an intricate tapestry that unites the zumra and their individual threads into a singular epic.

🦇 Recommended for all romantasy fans, namely fans of Ember in the Ashes, Rebel of the Sands, The Wrath & the Dawn, Spice Road, and The City of Brass.

For you, a thousand times I would defy the sun. ❞ ❝ We hunt the flame, the light in the darkness, the good this world deserves. ❞ ❝ Everyone has a turning point. A breaking point, too. ❞ ❝ A life without purpose may be no life, but a life without love is nothing but an existence. ❞ ❝ His voice was a caress. It lilted across the length of her name, tasting it. Teasing it. She wanted him to say it again. And again and again. She wanted him to do to her what he had done to her name. ❞ ❝ 'All right’ is when you’re bleeding black but it’s not as bad as bleeding red. When the world crashes but you’re not alone when it does. When the darkness is absolute but you hunt down the smallest flame and coax it brighter. When you carve the good out of every bad and claim it a victory. ❞

onde: casa de odette. para: @princesacisne

A ansiedade tomava o seu âmago da pior forma possível enquanto se aproximava da casa de Odette, sem Rajah no seu encalço como de costume. Vinha tentando manter seus planos longe até dos ouvidos dele – o que poderia parecer meio idiota para alguns, já que se tratava de um animal, mas esse tipo de questionamento só viria de quem não o conhecia. Rajah era um tigre inevitavelmente fora do comum, e a sultana o conhecia bem demais para saber que ele entenderia cada palavra sua, assim como podia sentir quando algo a afligia. E ela já tinha lhe submetido a estresses demais. A única pessoa com quem sabia que podia ser completamente honesta, também era uma regente e estava tão insatisfeita com o Conselho da Magia quanto ela estava atrás daquela porta. Ou assim ela esperava.

Quem atendeu, como de costume, foi o grandioso rei de Allarch, alguém que não via há uns bons anos antes do advento do reino dos perdidos, mas que tinha acompanhado seus primeiros passos devido à proximidade diplomática de seu reino com Agrabah. Hoje, os dois trocavam poucas palavras educadas quando dizia respeito às nações as quais governavam, além do básico 'Seja bem vinda, Odette está lá fora, vou buscá-la e já volto.' Ainda assim, fez questão de trazer consigo presentes para ele também: um vinho de arroz típico de Agrabah que ele sempre costumava compartilhar com seu pai, o senhor sultão, quando este era vivo; e uma fornada de katayefs.

A princesa não tardou a aparecer, iluminando automaticamente o rosto de Jasmine com a sua presença apesar de todo o nervosismo do motivo da visita. Eram amigas há mais tempo do que poderia contar, e por mais que se encontrassem distantes e muito ocupadas a maior parte do tempo, era uma de suas pessoas mais queridas no mundo. “Odette!” cumprimentou, sorrindo, e colocando a cesta com o restante dos presentes numa mesinha de canto para que pudesse gesticular melhor enquanto falava (havia aprendido a linguagem de sinais de Allarch além da de Agrabah, e apesar de só usá-la com Odette, era a melhor forma que tinha para conversar com ela nas reuniões do Conselho). “Espero que não esteja muito ocupada agora. Estava com saudades de casa e passei a manhã inteira cozinhando doces... pensei que podíamos tomar um chá e conversar como nos velhos tempos. O que acha?”

Não era um pedido muito complexo e nem uma mentira – realmente havia passado a manhã inteira cozinhando, e um dos motivos certamente era a saudade de casa, mas o principal era a desculpa para ter aquela conversa com Odette sem que houvesse motivo algum para aqueles que cercavam as duas estranhassem o encontro. Ainda assim, se sentia nervosa. Falar sobre aquilo, de certa forma, concretizaria seus planos, que aconteciam majoritariamente, no momento, dentro de sua cabeça. Mas ela precisava começar por algum lugar.

Cream filled Katayef's from Puspa's

He smiled, thankful that the treat seemed to lighten his mood. But ultimately his smile faded when his thoughts came back to the impending conversation he was trying to have.

Lucien... I wanted to talk to you. About... um.......Us....?

Knocking at his door.

Lucien... can we talk? Please?

@etoiles-astrologypainter

lucien grumbled, turning over in bed to face the door

“Huh…? Come in..?” He blinked, completely unaware who could be wanting him at the ungodly hour of…one pm.

foods i’m manifesting through spells and beams into my followers’ residences so they can try them

[thyboredomhatharrivedth]

Imagine ordering hummus and getting a box of raw chickpeas instead

Or, alternatively, ordering katayef (a kind of pastry) with cheese and getting just a plate of white cheese

Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know/catch up with.

I was tagged by @foxesandmagic, thank you so much for thinking of me!

3 ships: Oh, God. I’m not much of a shipper, but I definitely have a pair. So um, for canon I obviously choose Phrack (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries), but my favourites as of late are mainly fanfic ships, and in the lead are none other than Trixie x Tommy from @suethor‘s Baptism by Fire, and Dorothea x Marcel from @lordeasriel‘s What Yet Lingers (I’m so sorry Effie for being SO late with my comments, I’m working on it!). I am also starting to enjoy quite a lot of Masriel for some reason, someone save me.

Last song: Spotify says Sister Anne by MC5.

Last film: Uhhhh, I think either a rewatch of Captain Fantastic or Been So Long (I said it once, will say it again: that movie was the wildest ride of my year thus far and will probably watch it again. I mean.. a KEBAB knife???).

Currently reading: Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell, Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (I can’t seem to finish since summer although I’m enjoying it immensely, ugh what is wrong with me), aaaand A Nazi Word for a Nazi Thing by So Mayer, and Miss World 1970 by Jen Hosten, also here and there some Emma Goldman. And anything that goes in my AO3 bookmarks!

Currently watching: PUNK (the 2019 documentary, and being physically ill from looking at Johnny Rotten’s fucking face), Caliphate, His Dark Materials S2, Mando when I remember, Boardwalk Empire when I catch it on telly, and want to properly start and finish We Are Who We Are.

Currently consuming: a shamefully sweet and shamefully white coffee (need a kick, yuh!).

Currently craving: the Arabian takeout dinner we’re getting tonight, but for which I have to wait on my lad to come home from work. Then I’m going full katayef sauce all over my face.

I won’t be tagging anyone in particular though, if you forgive me. Guys who have been tagged in this via their work, you’re not obliged to share if you’re not comfortable with it, also anybody NOT tagged can pick up from here, I’d love to read something about yous!
