- W4237119331 abstract "Reviewed by: We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal Kate Quealy-Gainer, Assistant Editor Faizal, Hafsah We Free the Stars. Farrar, 2021 [592p] (Sands of Arawiya) Trade ed. ISBN 9780374311575 $19.99 E-book ed. ISBN 9780374311582 $9.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R Gr. 9-12 Nasir, Zafira, Kifah, and Altair may have broken the curse that held magic captive on the island of Sharr (in We Hunt the Flame, BCCB 4/19), but to truly restore it to all of Arawiya, they must bring the heart of each Sister of Old to their caliphates. The group was forged in battle but their bonds are fraying: Zafira contends with the malevolent voice of the book of magic she is bound to; Nasir is haunted by his sultan father's abuses; Kifah questions her quest for revenge; and Altair, left behind on Sharr, comes face to face with the Lion of the Night, a being bent on the destruction of Arawiya. Faizal continues the lush world building that marked the first of this duology, expanding upon the Persian-inspired setting and guiding readers through all of Arawiya, introducing new cultural aspects and making the stakes clear; especially deft here is the portrayal of trauma on a mass scale, as people riot in the streets of the Sultan's Keep and the Lion makes a play for power only to abuse it. The narrative shifts focus between Zafira and Nasir, with their push and pull romance heating up the pages. Their dramatic pining for each other occasionally drags down the plot, but Altair and Kifah add some droll humor, and the political intrigue, shifting alliances, and unpredictable betrayals give this considerable appeal. Knowledge of the first book is a must, but those who were left breathless by the previous installment will heave a sigh of relief at this one's happy ending.
