The Flame Must Burn by Beena Khan
3.0
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. *heads up- trigger warning for sexual and physical abuse*
This book took me some time to adjust to the cultural differences and thinking the way Cyrah does. I’m not used to reading from the perspective of someone with so little experience, in all aspects of life. But I did appreciate the change. I will say, knowing so little of the culture/religious beliefs of Cyrah was challenging at times though.
Ryder was a perfect gentleman. Respectful of Cyrah and how she was raised and her respect for her father and mother.
This was a short book, but so many life altering things occurred. Cyrah was sexually assaulted not too far into the book and that caused her to be wary of everyone, including Ryder. But he gained her trust and love eventually.
The writing was simple and easy to read. A bit choppy at times but for the most part, it flowed well throughout.
THREE STARS.
