A rich and searing epic fantasy sequel set in ancient Arabia, hafsah faizal's we free the stars is the highly anticipated follow up to we hunt the flame. We free the stars is the breath-taking second book in the sands of Bharatiya duology, by the masterful hafsah Faizal. After the battle on sharr, zafira and nasir return to a ghostly sultan's keep, low on resources and allies alike. The dark forest has fallen, but the kingdom teems with fear of the lion of the Night's return. As nasir struggles to master the dark power in his blood, zafira struggles against a very different darkness festering through her bond with the jawarat. The first book in the series, The epic fantasy we hunt the flame, was hafsah's debut novel and an instant new York Times bestseller.

I could not put the book down... Book two came in strong from the start and it did not stop till the end... There were times I was holding my breath while reading cause the scenes were so engaging & intense. The whole concept of how things are not always black and white or in this case dark and light, there is generally a middle ground the grey area is very well depicted. The thing that I liked the most about this book was how the story did justice to all its characters especially its badass female characters. We got to see the darkness within Zafira win and create chaos, we saw a side of Nasir that was ready to trust others & protect others, something that he himself thought had been tortured out of him. We were able to see the doubts in Altair's sparkling eyes cause in the end it was his blood that he was fighting against. Zafir & Nasir's whole journey of enemies to Habibi to Hayati to Roohi...*chefs kiss* 🤌 I loved the concept of the Zumra especially cause it depicted the concept of found family. How nobody was ready to give up on the other person cause that's just not what friends do....🥹🥹 After the breathtaking start in We Hunt the Flame, We Free the Stars delivers a powerful conclusion to the Sands of Arawiya duology.

Wonderful read
The battle on Sharr is over. The dark forest has fallen. Despite the fact that Altair is in captivity, Zafira, Nasir, and Kifah are heading toward Sultan's Keep with the intention of completing the plan he started: putting the Sisters of Old's hearts back in each caliphate's minaret and restoring magic to all of Arawiya. The plot reveals how the darkness overthrows the kingdom, about the magic that is in Nasir's blood and how he handles it, as well as about Zafira's struggle with the Jawarat—a darkness that hums with voices and pushes her to the edge of sanity—which she fears unleashing. As the darkness closes in on them much faster, Nasir and Zafira feel themselves falling over one another and can't bear to lose. However, time is running out to achieve their ends, and if order is to be restored, drastic sacrifices will have to be made. I definitely enjoyed this book more than the first one, with lots of magic and mysterious twists and turns. I must admit that the author's linguistic writing was impeccable. The pace was moderate at the first half and at the end it was quite fast. I loved the character development and the growing relationship between Nasir and Zafira. They were absolutely adorable, and the slow burn romance was amazing. There were several interesting side characters but Altair was my favourite, with his strong and hilarious personality. I think there were a lot of elements within it that could have been executed better or just weren't necessary. Overall, it was a great read.

Utterly, irrevocably beautiful ❤️
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🌻❤️

Loved it
I am just thankful that destiny made me come across this duology - Sands of Arawiya. You have to read it for yourself, anything about the book will be spoilers for sure. A lot happened yet it didn't feel overwhelming, it was in fact a complete package of romance, fights, drama, adventure! Nasir and Zafira are okay but Altair and Kifah ah these two have my heart for their friendship and intelligence! If book 1 was a 5/5 this is a 10/5 is all I can say. Every character, every detail, every revelation were a chefs kiss. Meticulously written with no lag in the story. Loved it.

So many emotions!!
This was an amazing sequel and ending to Zafira, Nasir, Altair, Kifah, and all of the others who touched the zumra. With the final showdown between the zumra and the Lion of Darkness, more than just hope is lost. Zafira has to find herself when the Jawarat clouds her mind and makes her question her motives. Nasir has to keep himself from cracking as the man who controls his father and called him a mutt for years roams free intent to kill anyone in his way. Book 2 had very organic ebbs and flows with slow chapters that are used well in conjunction with the bustle of the fight scenes, of which the are plenty. Character development is still progressive and feels genuine. Emotions galore poor from page to page. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abandonment Self depreciation Death Disfigurement

Buena compra, estado regular-bueno
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.

I knew this was going to be good!
After several months of procrastinating the end of the Sands of Arawiya duology, I finally brought myself to reading We Free the Stars. This book gave me more angst than I ever thought possible, officially bringing Nasir and Zafira in the list of my favorite couples. While I did enjoy them a lot in the first book, the angst in this one makes up for their quick buildup. It was glorious. At one point I literally yelled “just f—”…well, you get what I mean. The characters were a confirmation and a surprise at the same time. Zafira and Altair, I already loved, but Nasir turned into my thirst trap. I was wholly prepared to give my heart and soul to Altair one more time, but Nasir swept me off my feet. I love him. I think my sister and I have officially found our respective book boyfriends for the series. Order is restored! Another surprising character was Kifah. She was kind of overshadowed by the other characters in We Hunt the Flame, but she truly shined here. Kifah was the perfect shoulder to Zafira’s understandable brood, at moments witty and ironic and wise in others. We also got the opportunity to see more of Zafira’s sister, Lana. I loved her character! The only sour note was the missing Storyline That Was Meant To Be. The ending of We Hunt the Flame had me believe we would be seeing a hate-to-love romance of epic proportions, but alas, it wasn’t the case. Either the author had to cut it out due to lack of page time, or she’s secretly planning to return to the world of Arawiya in the future. I truly hope it’s the latter, because there were a lot of instances where we’re teased just how perfect these two could be together, but for the time being I remain a little disappointed, seeing how much I was looking forward to it. Who do I need to beg for this to happen, pretty please? In my heart, this is a five star on everything else, but because of the missing storyline, I’m bringing it down to four.
