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.

Not for me - Slow going but also rushed.
Reviewed: 10-12-21
I felt like there were a lot of little things thrown into the book, but there is not much to the actual story. Most of the book is the characters walking across an island, and fighting monsters and such out of nowhere. The story just didn't flow very well and I found myself thinking "wait what is even going on?" several times and having to rewind. Things happened very suddenly, and were raked over and moved on just as fast. The main love interests had absolutely no chemistry and hardly even interacted. The story as a whole was very slow going but very rushed at the same time, and just felt very forced.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
