THE BOOK REVIEW
* I received an e-copy for free and I write this review willingly, without any compensation whatsoever. Thank you the Amena Jamali and Romance me with Books! *
This book is honestly SOOOOO my type!
It’s really, really captivating and immersive. The author’s language is astounding and just… The characters’ and locations’ names have an Arabic consonance, which I find quite pretty and different in fantasy. Given that the author is of Middle Eastern origins, it does fit, and I am glad she took that path of diversity.
As for her preface, I love that she admits this is a story of tragedy, but also of human resilience and how we must acknowledge and face truth—this way, prosperity and happiness will come. It’s beautiful, and true, in my opinion. She mentions The Way It Would Become is the first of five prequels to her seven-volume series already published. I’m all ears! (or eyes for reading, because this is not an audiobook in my case, but never mind!)
Mostly, it’s amazing and fun because the women in this book are not only warriors but leaders, too… which is surprising in most fantasy-based stories because it does follow a different path than the traditional medieval of the genre. I’m loving it so much! Plus, they have powers based off the land they live on—mind-blowing!
Furthermore, the main characters’ romance is soooo sweet!!! The guy, Naman (the king), is in love with his wife so bad and he wishes for her to feel at home in his kingdom. Meanwhile, she supports and defends him wholeheartedly, but she doesn’t seem to be in love with him. However, the simple fact that he is deeply fond of her, and she is extremely loyal to him is adooooooooooooorable! This dynamic is certainly one I find fascinating, and it’s so rarely used in fiction; and when it is, it is not often with loyalty or genuine care of the other person. So fascinating and engaging!
Lastly, I have stumbled upon no negative point in this story, which makes it all the more absorbing.
Frankly, I will read her whole series! It is captivating and different.
Because it makes me feel in a whole other world of wonders and strength (both power- and character-wise), I give The Way It Would Become a rating of 5 out of 5. This is one of the best fantasy stories I’ve read in a long time, so you can be certain I’m on my way to purchase her published series and will be on the lookout for this one’s upcoming releases.
