    Amazing
  

*by I***  on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019*

I rarely pre-order books, so I simply woke up with The Candle and the Flame on my kindle.Since I had no book to keep my attention, I decided to start it. It's a pretty long book, yet I read it in two days because I couldn't - wouldn't - put it down.Magic in the Middle East - Djinns of all kind and mysterious powers and fires.Fatima was an orphan adopted by a simple family. After an attack by a type of Djinn, her and her sister were the only ones left alive - this made them sort of famous, in the city. We witness a sort of rebirth of the main female lead, after the death of a person very close to her. This death is actually what unleashes everything; it's the starting point of the action. Up until then, the author was simply getting us acquainted with her characters, building up the world where everything will happen.This is the moment my newest beau, Zulfikar, makes his appearance. I loved that it wasn't love at first sight. Even though certain things had to happen, the connection between the two main characters formed at a regular pace.So many things happen and I'm so happy the author wrote it as a standalone, instead of a duology/trilogy/series because it would have taken away from the story.I can't recommend it enough and this is a definite reread for me! 5+++ stars, new favorite of 2019!

    So many cultures, a melting pot of YES!
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019*

I loved this book! So much female empowerment happening! So much women supporting women and growing and discovering themselves, oh, it was wonderful. The culture was beautiful and I loved learning so many new Urdu and Hindi and Arabic words. And the food! Do NOT read this book on an empty stomach!Let's discuss how great it was that the djinn world is a matriarchal society! And the families that were so accepting and loving, no matter what! Yes, there were villains, and they were clearly marked because they were anti-anything-different. I loved the support between certain members of the raj family. The maharani was a true queen, despite her lower upbringing. Everything was just so advanced and where the real world needs to be even though it isn't. It was a fantasy world to dream of.There were only a couple of complaints. First, the romance was a little forced, and even though Fatima Ghazala acknowledges the fact that their relationship seems built on nothing, it still wasn't enough for me. Maybe because I'm not djinn. I dunno.Second, certain key elements were only alluded to, and in such a subtle way that it was too subtle? And I wanted more explanation? Like, everything to do with the maharajah's and Emir's reports and spy system. That all could've been explained more. Especially when you get to the end and things unravel before the reader, I felt like "Oh, hey, wish I had known some of this sooner, it would've made more sense"But overall? STUNNING debut!

    Wonderful, imaginative worldbuilding
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2019*

Wonderful, imaginative worldbuilding that brings the Silk Road town of Noor to life, with its people, architecture and food (my word, this book made me HUNGRY!)The magic and story are inspired by Middle Eastern culture and folk tales, a refreshing change that expands the reader's imagination beyond the majority of largely Euro-centric fantasy novels.Azad's voice is a welcome addition to the genre! I can wait to read what she writes next!
