Our view
A quest and an enemies-to-lovers romance drive “We Hunt the Flame”, the dark, adventurous first of the two “Sands of Arawiya” novels. Readers who rate it highly evidently come for that mix of journey, magic and rivalry turning to love. Some readers find the quest’s premise interesting but the tension between the two leads forced, and warm to the side characters more than to the central pair. Hafsah Faizal continues the story in “We Free the Stars”.
