How I Came Across The Title?
One day a long time ago (sometime in May 2018), Sabaa Tahir tweeted about a book being released and she praised it. I read up the premise on goodreads and decided I wanted to read it. Thus, Amal Unbound was added to my TBR. I got my hands on a copy but it sat waiting for me to get to it. Today (yes, I started reading it today and finished it today as well), as I sat waiting for my brother in the waiting area (we had to be somewhere) I was extremely bored and did not have anything to do. I just had my phone which luckily has Kindle app on it which is synced with my Kindle and voila! It was time for Amal Unbound.
Not Even 24 Hours!
As I mentioned earlier, I finished the book in less than 12 hours because the events are realistic and the words used to tell, simple. The book is fast paced and talks about;
- A girl’s struggle (I can relate – not at that level though)
- A girl’s ambitions and I was rooting for her all the way
- How the society is obsessed with having son(s)
- How people with power have god complex
- How wealth changes people
- How friendships can be fickle
- How friendships are born
- How every small thing matters
- How people cope with a change in their circumstance
- Why Education is very important
I loved the ending and I wanted to read more of Amal’s story because the way the book ended I still do not know how she coped being back where she was once an integral part and then relegated to the status of a guest.
I rate it at 3.75 stars.
On the whole, Kudos Aisha!
Great post 😁
