O destino do deserto está nas mãos de Amani Al’Hiza ― uma garota feita de fogo e pólvora, com o dedo sempre no gatilho. O deserto de Miraji é governado por mortais, mas criaturas míticas rondam as áreas mais selvagens e remotas, e há boatos de que, em algum lugar, os djinnis ainda praticam magia. De toda maneira, para os humanos o deserto é um lugar impiedoso, principalmente se você é pobre, órfão ou mulher. Amani Al’Hiza é as três coisas. Apesar de ser uma atiradora talentosa, dona de uma mira perfeita, ela não consegue escapar da Vila da Poeira, uma cidadezinha isolada que lhe oferece como futuro um casamento forçado e a vida submissa que virá depois dele. Para Amani, ir embora dali é mais do que um desejo ― é uma necessidade. Mas ela nunca imaginou que fugiria galopando num cavalo mágico com o exército do sultão na sua cola, nem que um forasteiro misterioso seria responsável por lhe revelar o deserto que ela achava que conhecia e uma força que ela nem imaginava possuir.

top 9 books
tagged by @gayarthur @transbuck @buddierights
thank you my loves 💖
1. summer sons by lee mandelo
words really cannot describe how phenomenal this book is. so gritty and dark and visceral and addictive and soul changing. i will be obsessed with this book until i die
2. under the whispering door by tj klune
this is one of those books that tears out your soul and makes you examine it and leaves you sobbing at 2 am but like in a good way (mostly). such an incredible look at death and life and its effects with a truly heartwarming love story
3. beach read by emily henry
not your too typical romcom. the main characters are to die for and so messy and real and i couldn't get enough of them separately and together. also did a really amazing job at balancing romance and everything else going on in the plot
4. ocean's echo by everina maxwell
without a doubt my most favorite sci-fi fantasy book. amazinggggg world building and incredibly engaging with an irresistible cast of characters
5. babel: an arcane history by r. f. kuang
the best dark academia has to offer. this book turns the genre on its head and deeply examines and critizes the systemic racism within academia in such a real and gripping way that leaves you breathless
6. we hunt the flame by hafsah faizal
incredible fantasy with a really cool magic system, true enemies to lovers that leaves you desperate and wanton, and the writing is so goddamn lyrical and breathtaking
7. sandstorm by james rollins
everything i love about a treasure hunting action movie in a book. enough said.
8. furyborn by claire legrand
this book (and the other two in the series) own me body heart and soul. politics and intrigue and rebellion and the curse of blood and power with queers everywhere you look and a truly throat gripping romance mixed in
9. rebel of the sands by alwyn hamilton
magic and gunslinging, an oppressive empire, tons of fighting and running and dying, love found in the most horrible of places-of course it is a fave

ignoreing ages/heights/wags/travis kelce, here are my thoughts on
people i think taylor would be able to date: fernando alonso, lewis hamilton, michael schumacher, jenson button (purely based on looks), nico hulkenberg (in a joe alwyn kind of way), the newer version of charles leclerc who is way more PR focused and signed with an agency
people i think would be able to date taylor: lewis hamilton, nico rosberg, oscar piastri, kimi raikkonen (maybe i am crazy but it seems like he'd be unbothered by her fame)
by "able to date" i mean people that would be okay with TS's level of fame and how busy she is, and also could vibe with her. for TS, i think "able to date" means people she could vibe with and would want to date
of course i am open to discourse
Omg not Chuck Leclerc 😂😂😂 tbh now that you’ve said it I can’t unsee it. They would actually make a BOMB couple. Only problem is Charles strikes me as a needy lil thing, and he would probably need more attention from a partner than Taylor could give him.
I don’t see it working with Michael Schumacher. The ego says no. Also too European. I see it with Fernando. He has a chill to him that I think he would take her being the bigger star with the right amount of levity.
Yes to Lewis, yes to Oscar.
I think Nico is too much of a family guy, too European, just wants a nice life. Don’t think he wants to be on tour and shit. Same with Max. Wouldn’t be bothered by the fans per se, but also wouldn’t want to be sitting in the stands when he could be at home.
I actually think Alex Albon would make the best choice for Taylor. He’s kinda already used to being a wag, his relationship with Lily proves he can make the effort in a long distance relationship and that he doesn’t always need someone to be around to manage him. Also he just seems like a really nice guy, but definitely has a secret judgemental edge which I think fits well with Taylor.

Have you watched Dr. Strange 2? The term ‘dreamwalker’ and astral planes was thrown around and had my TBS senses going off! Was there any lore/mythology you drew on for Paige’s dream walking that you can tell us about?
No, I'm afraid I'm not much of a Marvel person – Alwyn Hamilton persuaded me to watch Thor: Ragnarok, which I thought was good fun, but I'm not generally into superheroes. A friend messaged me about that as soon as he saw the film, though!
Dreamwalking was primarily inspired by the broad concepts of astral projection, out-of-body experiences, and lucid dreaming. The term ‘silver cord’ originates from Ecclesiastes:
'Remember him – before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.'

Fortnight of Books: 2022
This year I got through 36 books - and as usual entered the new year still in the middle of several I’d expected to finish. :P More finished than in 2021, though. Since I’ve been tracking the number of mysteries for a few years, that’s sitting at 12, a very solid 33%!
Day 1:
Overall - best books read in 2022?
Scanning the list, obvious standouts are, in order of appearance, Things We Couldn’t Say (Diet Eman), The Goblin Emperor (Katherine Addison), Peace Like a River (Leif Enger), Tenthragon (Constance Savery), Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis), and Liturgy of the Ordinary (Tish Harrison Warren).
Best series you discovered in 2022?
I read a couple of Book Ones this year which I decided to enjoy as stand-alones based on reviews of the later books (The Fog Diver and The Goblin Emperor). The only new series I continued has an excessively long final book in which I remain bogged down (Hero at the Fall, Alwyn Hamilton). So no real standouts in this category.
Best reread of the year?
It’s hard to believe, but I only got around to two rereads this year! The Tower at Stony Wood (Patricia McKillip) pulls ahead of The Silver Branch (Rosemary Sutcliff) - both are warm and heartening with characters I love, and The Silver Branch is the one I plan to make a graphic for one of these days hah. But the McKillip I had only read once, and longer ago. The reread was therefore more of a surprise and delight, and the sibling relationship was excellent. And I already said I love the characters in both books, but can I just emphasize that Cyan Dag is wonderful?!

A Rebelde do Deserto de Alwin Hamilton
Páginas: 288
Gênero: Fantasia
Avaliação: ★★★★★
“Uma nova alvorada, um novo deserto.”
Eu tive que passar longas horas pensando com calma no que eu deveria falar, se não acabaria comentando cada página desse livro. Há muito eu não lia uma fantasia tão boa, e tão diferente das fantasias que estamos acostumados a ler.
A Rebelde do Deserto conta a história de Amani Al’Hiza que, após a morte dos pais se vê obrigada a morar com parentes distantes. E viver em uma casa onde todos parecem te odiar e em uma sociedade extremamente machista era o melhor que a Vila do Poeira poderia oferecê-la, por isso, motivada pelo medo de se tornar mais uma entre as tantas esposas de seu tio, Amani resolve se arriscar. Vestindo-se de homem para tentar fugir, a moça acaba de envolvendo em uma competição de tiro onde conhece o forasteiro Jin.
Depois de armarem uma grande confusão os dois finalmente conseguem fugir e são obrigados a enfrentar a imensidão do deserto de Miraji juntos.
Apesar de eu achar que a narrativa foi um pouco cansativa e arrastada no início, isso logo mudou apresentando uma narrativa surpreendente e uma ambientação melhor ainda. E acredite em mim, A Rebelde do Deserto tem como seu ponto mais forte a ambientação. Aos poucos a autora vai nos mostrando um deserto cheio de mistérios e segredos e eu confesso que no começo foi um pouco difícil de entender como a magia desse mundo funcionava, as acho que foi, principalmente, por causa dos nomes complexos.
Alwyn Hamilton trouxe elementos da cultura árabe e ao mesmo tempo em que fazia uma crítica social importante, abordando temas como o machismo, desigualdade social e disputas religiosas, tudo isso muito bem de forma clara em trabalhada sem parecer algo na história.
Quanto aos personagens secundários, a autora soube criar personagens cativantes e necessários para compor a história. Um destaque para Bahi que me surpreendeu como um dos favoritos para se tornar o meu favorito — isso se ele não tivesse morrido, é claro. E Jin, que desde o primeiro capítulo se mostrou ser um ótimo par romântico para Amani, mesmo que eu não pudesse evitar desconfiar da identidade dele desde o início —, mas também não é como se ele tivesse feito algum esforço para esconder que ele não estava falando toda a verdade sobre si. Confesso que, mesmo que já desconfiasse desse ar misterioso dele, a autora me pegou de surpresa quando contou a verdade.
E, sendo sincera, eu senti na pele a raiva e a frustração da Amani. Me senti tão traída quanto ela (talvez até um pouco mais.)
Acho que muito por conta da narração em primeira pessoa. Esse tipo de narração sempre faz parecer que eu estou mais próxima dos protagonistas e com a Amani não foi diferente. Isso permitiu que eu entendesse melhor seus sentimentos, medos e pudesse acompanhar seu amadurecimento durante sua jornada pelo deserto.
O livro terminou com algumas pontas soltas, algo já esperado para um livro que tem continuação, mas se mostrou ser uma história bem divertida e cativante que entregou muito mais do que promete e com certeza merece mais reconhecimento. Eu espero ter em breve a oportunidade de ler a continuação desse livro e descobrir o final da história.
