“All that I am I give to you, and all that I have is yours”
The story continues in the last book with Amani trying to lead the rebellion as best as she can whilst also trying to rescue her friends who have been taken by The Sultan to the mythical city of Eremot.
Ok so I just finished this last night and my heart is broke, and I’m just going to go sit in a corner and cry for a bit.
What a cruel but great book that Alwyn Hamilton has given us. We see the characters sacrifice so much again for the rebellion, for “a new dawn, a new desert” that it just broke my heart.
You think that everything is going to be ok and they’ve solved a problem and then something else happens where a sacrifice of greater proportions is needed.
At one point near the end I felt like throwing the book out the window!! Not once, not twice but again and again the author just broke my heart, repaired it a small bit and then just broke it all over again.
In the end we see the outcome that we and the characters had hoped would happen, but not without bravery and sacrifice.
I love how when it was nearing the end, and the characters stories were somewhat finished but still had more to tell, the author gave each character a story within the book, to tell us how their lives had turned out.
In one of these stories, we see a country that is governed by a fair and just and proper Sultan, and we see the lives of our Rebel Prince, our Beautiful General, our Princess Demji and the famous, Foreign Prince and Blue-Eyed Bandit where they are meant to be.
I’m just so sad this series is over! These books and characters will always have a special place in my heart, and for that I am thankful.
“Until we were both just infinite stars tangled together in the night.”
