This book blew my mind away. A great sequel and finale of the Mirage duology. I love Somaiya Daud's writing, it is beautiful and rich in a seemingly effortless way. I could read her books an entire day long without getting tired because the flow of her books make it so much fun to read. The character development in this book is amazing. The relationship between Amani and Maram even better than in Mirage. All of the characters in this were well developed and easy to connect to. Out of all the new characters that we were introduced to I liked Aghraas the most, she was so interesting and her mysterious aura was exciting to read about. The political intrigues and developments were well written and very exciting. I particularly enjoyed that we got to see even more of this world and it's history. The ending we received was very satisfactory and very fitting. I'm more than happy about how everything went. I'm a little sad that this is just a duology, because I want more, I love it so much.
