The Map of Salt and Stars
by Zeyn Joukhadar
Beautiful and heart-wrenching, dreamy yet real. I loved The Thirty Names of Night, and I can't wait to read more from Zeyn Joukhadar. Nour was so well written, the wonder and thoughts and emotions of a child made her storyline magical without losing the very real emotions of the adults around her and their struggles. The relationships between characters evolved perfectly, and their mourning of lost loved ones and grief of lost homes was so incredibly done. The audiobook narration was done so well.
My only struggle was with the jumps between Nour and Rawiya's timelines, they sometimes blended together without a proper break to signal that one chapter was over and the POV switched. I'm not sure how this looked in print, but it was difficult for me to follow as an audiobook listener.
