Mirage

Mirage, which is in part inspired by the author's Moroccan background, is the story of a young woman, Amani, who is forced to leave her family and home moon behind to become a body double for the daughter of the Conqueror of the Stars. Although I thought it took about 50-60 pages to get going, once I was hooked, I was hooked???not because of action or twists and turns, but because of the emotional intensity and beautiful writing that perfectly fit the main protagonist, reflecting her poetic soul. In particular, I loved Amani???her empathy, wisdom, and courage???and the development of her complicated sort-of-friendship with Princess Maram.

My Rating: 4.5
