Today, I review We Hunt the Flame, by Hafsah Faizal! Goodreads: Ellie Mano Instagram/TikTok: @hookofabook Email: hookofabookpodcast@gmail.com
She is known as the hunter because she is the person who provides food for most of her village.
He's the crown prince of the kingdom, but he's also an assassin that will kill anybody that defies his father, the sultan.
If he shows any sign of kindness, any remorse, any compassion, he will be punished severely.
She has to go beyond the Ars and find a lost artifact that could bring magic back to this world.
He has also been sent to find this artifact, but he has to kill Zephira, the hunter.
And even though Nasir is supposed to kill Zephira, they're probably going to have to end up working together.
New enemies are beginning to emerge, and if they want any hope of restoring magic to the world, they're going to have to use each other and rely on each other in more ways than one.
Will Zephira and Nasir be able to overcome their differences and use all of their strength to find this artifact and restore magic to the kingdom before it's too late? The world building in this story really stuck out to me.
