The first few chapters might be confusing to some who like and expect to have a clear picture of what is going on. (No surprise, since the author herself is of Sri Lankan/Arab descent and is an American Muslim). The book opens up right in a fantasy world set in what could have been ancient middle eastern lands. Yes, this is a book that is topical at times (much like many young adult novels), but still sophisticated enough to capture the attention of well-read adults like myself. We Hunt the Flame is an intricate, creative, complex, thoughtful book. I’m going to be waiting impatiently for this one! And here’s why. We Hunt the Flame was released in May of 2019, and it appears that the sequel is not due until sometime in 2021 (booooo). I am happy to say that was NOT what happened at all. So I sat down and prepared to be underwhelmed. I had also started Scythe, which tons of people praised, and I found that I couldn’t get into it. I think my expectations were pretty low, because I had just tried to read Sophia, Princess among Beasts (which was so disappointing).
