Amani must make a devastating choice between revolution and family in the stunning second installment of the “immersive and captivating” (ALA Booklist, starred review) Mirage series by Somaiya Daud!

Two identical girls, one a princess, the other a rebel. Who will rule the empire?

After being swept up into the brutal Vathek court, Amani, the ordinary girl forced to serve as the half-Vathek princess’s body double, has been forced into complete isolation. The cruel but complex princess, Maram, with whom Amani had cultivated a tenuous friendship, discovered Amani’s connection to the rebellion and has cornered her into silence, and if Amani crosses Maram once more, she will be revealed to everyone in the court.

Amani is desperate to continue helping the rebellion, to fight for her people’s freedom. But she must make a devastating decision: will she continue to aid them, and put her family―and herself―in mortal danger? And can she remain separated, forever, from Maram’s fiancé, Idris, with whom she shares a dangerous attraction?

Court of Lions is the stunning sequel to Somaiya Daud’s debut Mirage, the first in her Mirage trilogy.

4 (Muito bom)

Fim simplista

Este segundo livro focou DEMAIS nos festejos do casamento. Mostrou bastante a cultura Kushaila, mas a parte Vathek ficou para trás. A questão que Maram levantou sobre aqueles que formaram raízes em Andala foi válida, no entanto ela não fez nada sobre isso. Só tentou conquistar o povo de Andala, o que é completamente válido, mas os dominadores?? Foram descartados e vencidos como se não fossem nada. Um final simplista demais, na minha opinião.
