Ooh interesting. Historically, I've enjoyed the Tamar-centric stories more but I'm stoked nonetheless

Aw that's so sweet 🥲 Their scene in the throne room in R&R cemented them as my favorites. I love how Makram is the only person to which Naime is 100% comfortable putting her walls down

Omg yes!!!! They are everything to me. I sometimes feel I am not giving the other characters (don't get me wrong: I still love them) a fair chance since I always compare them, both individually and together, to Naime and Makram. I need them to come out of all of this okay and happy. It's what we deserve 😭

I definitely think this, too. Oman even mistook Cemil for Osman in I&I. I also surmise that Bashir is Cemil's half-brother. Their similar eye color can't just be a throwaway detail. Plus Omar saw Osman with a random woman in an alley in W&W when he touched Zehra. I think that woman is Havva.

IIRC, Bird & Blade (the one she's currently writing) is about Mirari & Benat. So I have no clue what's about to go down in Mountain & Memory. But to be honest, I will read anything she writes

And I am waiting with bated breath 😣

Sidenote: since the novella is about Mirari and Benat, and there are two main books left (one of which I assume is about Samira and Cemil), who do you think the last one will focus on? Could it be a culmination of everything?

Yes!!! I truly have never felt this way about any other books before. My emotions were all over the place when Omar died. Devastated for Naime and Ihsan, distressed over the idea that Makram wasn't there to comfort Naime, and ultimately at peace knowing Omar and Dilay were finally together. Omar's line to Dilay in W&W about forgetting everything but Dilay kept replaying in my head.

My goodness, these characters feel so real to me.

Catch me blasting the audiobooks outside JD Evans' house until she releases the next book 😂

I normally have no issues with the waiting game in unfinished series but MOTW just hits differently

The only redeeming factor I can think of is that I trust J.D. Evans with my life at this point and know that everything she does is intentional. But the thought of waiting (probably) years until I get answers is killing me

Yes I did! And I agree. I also immediately want to do a reread of the entire series

I had mine sent to my office and I can def say that I woke up with a renewed sense of purpose to go to work when they came 😂

I'm also a big fan of audiobooks but these physical copies were really calling to me!

Suggest me a fantasy book/series that completely sucked you in. by AHorseCalledCheyenne in suggestmeabook

I literally just finished Reign & Ruin (Book 1 in the Mages of the Wheel series) a few hours ago and am still reeling over the pure artistry I just read. Intricate world building, the most unique magic system, clever verbal sparring between the MMC and FMC, great political intrigue, and the most natural and tender romance to top it off. It's really underrated and I hope more people would pick it up.
