Beautiful setting for a classic good vs evil fight

First of all: I really enjoyed the narration, well done, two speakers for two perspectives shown.

The story. I was very unsure how to review is. The arabian setting with it's food, deserts and weapons really makes a difference, it is wonderful! The language and descriptions of this book are also a pleasure. It surprised me that no religion was shown, but I didn't mind. The characters all had a painful past and the side characters had a much more interesting personality than the main two, with a more .. easy and direkt, not really thought-through way to act. The love story seams kind of forced and always proceeds when one would think they better put their minds to the quest and dangers. There are a lot of revelations, but not many surprises in this book. Still, I would recommend this for a short break from reality with not much to think about, but much to enjoy.

I really wanted to love this

Hafzsh Faizal is most certainly a gifted author and will in all likelihood have a long, successful writing career. However, it’s too obvious that she’s a young and inexperienced author. As I said above, I very much wanted to love this book. But I found it much too full of cliches. Unfortunately the choice of the narrators have done it a disservice as well. Contrary to what most reviewers say (they didn’t like the female narrator), I found the male reader absolutely unbearable. He seemed to either deeply dislike the book or then his intention was to ridicule it…. Also I think it was very unwise to choose narrators who don’t have the slightest inkling of Arabic.
