Es beginnt mit einem Geständnis. Dem aus Syrien nach Schweden geflüchteten Journalisten und Autor Khaled Alesmael wird ein anonymer Brief zugespielt. Das Schreiben ist auf Arabisch verfasst und stammt von einem schwulen Mann aus Damaskus. Er erzählt von einem Vorfall in Syrien: einem Autounfall, der auf tragische Weise mit der Homosexualität des Absenders zusammenhängt - und der mit einem Todesfall endet. Für Alesmael ist der Bericht wie ein Weckruf. Er nimmt ihn zum Anlass, die Schicksale schwuler Männer aus der arabischen Welt, die ihm im Laufe der Jahre erzählt wurden, zu sammeln, aufzuarbeiten und mit der Welt zu teilen - und damit denjenigen eine Stimme zu geben, die sonst keine haben. Nachdem Khaled Alesmael im Roman Selamlik seine eigenen Fluchterfahrungen verarbeitete, lässt er in dieser Geschichtensammlung zehn queere Menschen zu Wort kommen, die Ähnliches erlebt haben wie er selbst. Basierend auf Gesprächen und Korrespondenzen mit Geflüchteten aus verschiedenen Ländern Nordafrikas und des Nahen Ostens erzählt er von Biografien, die die physische und psychische Gewalt verdeutlichen, denen schwule Männer im arabischen Raum ausgesetzt sind. Die Protagonisten erzählen von Scheinehen, sexuellem Missbrauch, Polizeigewalt und Tötungen in ihren Heimatländern, aber auch vom Ringen um eine neue Identität im Exil. Der multi-perspektivische Ansatz setzt sich in unterschiedlichen Textformen fort. Neben Prosa-Passagen bindet Alesmael Chat-Verläufe, Briefe und klassische Interview-Sequenzen in die Geschichten ein. Die Motivation des Projekts erklärt er im Epilog in Anlehnung an Martin Luther King so: 'Die Homosexuellen an einem Ort sind verantwortlich für die Befreiung der Homosexuellen an jedem anderen.'

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
