When Silver Met Gold by Kounj Muzafar
4.0

Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review

My rating is probably more of 3.5 stars but I am still thinking about the characters nearly a day after finishing the book so I bumped it up to four stars.

When Silver met Gold, tells the story of Muscat Stuart who comes to Pakistan after her mother has passed away. While she comes to terms with life in Pakistan and her mother's passing, she forms a relationship with Aalyian Haider.

I loved the whole cast of characters in this book and how they interacted with each other throughout the novel. The chemistry between Aalyian and Muscat was there from the start and I rooted throughout the whole story for them to get together. I found the side characters added great depth to the story and helped the story along in some capacity.

I liked the aspect of Mucsat learning about Islam and Pakistan history and I learned a lot through that as well even though I felt at some points it was a bit overdone and overshadowed other aspects of the novel.

I sometimes found the novel to be too long as it was over descriptive in some aspects and I sometimes had a problem with the passing. In some instants, the times were also of, as it was like no time had passed but then it was 3 weeks later or the other way around.

Overall I really liked this debut novel and I am looking forward to seeing what Kounj Muzafar will write in the future.
