![]() Every choice Hafsah made in telling this story is entirely in accordance with the character’s personalities and story arc. However I can say every single character gets what they deserve. Everybody needs to know who will live and will finish up dead, which character gets happy closure, which does not. The story Hafsah weaves in this continuation addresses to every last bit of it, and she does it well. It is not so much what occurs, as it is the manner by which each character responds to it, and why?Īt the point when We Hunt the Flame finished, we were left with numerous questions, heaps of pain, and the little seedlings of hope. ![]() ![]() Individuals live and die, betray and save one another, close themselves off and open themselves up. ![]() We Free the Stars pass on a complex of emotions one can hardly articulate. ![]()

We want to be youthful adventurers and middle-aged mothers. We want a mate who feels like family and a lover who is exotic, surprising.

From Rieux’s first encounter with a dead rat - a bloated corpse bleeding in a place it had no business to be - the horror mounts. But once he reached the street, it occurred to him that the rat didn’t belong there.”īarely a half-dozen pages into Albert Camus’s novel The Plague, the stage set of everyday life begins to falter and fall into pieces.
