Hafsah Faizal's lush writing and prose was something that I really enjoyed throughout this book. There were a few Arabic vocabulary in here that I wasn't familiar with, but loved the inclusion of them because it is quite easy to figure it out with context clues or a quick google search and learning them was nice. I really appreciated the deep bond between our main character Zafira and her best friend. I also connected with our other main character Nasir and I fell in love with other side characters like Altair and Benyamin. I feel like all of Faizal's characters are very multi-dimensional. This book is pretty slow-paced though, and I disconnected from the plot a couple times. The ending of We Hunt the Flame was jam-packed and leaves off on a cliffhanger so make sure you have the next book on hand!! Overall, great read and I did read the sequel which I liked even more!
