Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR THE FINAL STRIFE
‘Featuring a love triangle, an enemies to lovers arc, and plenty of intrigue, this read will have you running the full gamut of emotions’ Huffington Post UK
‘El-Arifi is a game-changing new voice in epic fantasy, and The Final Strife is a triumph of book, full of rage, charm, and a cast of misfits you can't help but root for. There are no Chosen Ones here. Only bad choices and blood’
Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne
‘Epic, gripping and searing, The Final Strife weaves a fascinating tale of destiny, magic and love set in a richly imagined yet brutally divided world. Its unexpected, gritty heroine is one you cannot help but root for, and the story will stay with you long after the last page’
Sue Lynn Tan, author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess
‘El-Arifi tells a tale that is as fierce as its characters, plunging you into a sandy, stratified world until you can feel the grit between your teeth. Heart-wrenching and heart-pounding, The Final Strife is an unmissable debut’
Andrea Stewart, author of Bone Shard Daughter
‘Full of rich, vivid world-building with political intrigue and characters you can’t help but root for. I loved it’
Christina Sweeney-Baird, author of The End of Men
‘Epic fantasy turned on its head in the most compelling way imaginable. A heroine with bite, a supporting cast of flawed but deeply human characters, and world building that is raw, unforgiving and richly textured, The Final Strife is the real deal. El-Arifi is a bold new voice in epic fantasy and I cannot wait to read more of her work’
Kalynn Bayron, bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead and This Poison Heart
‘A rip-roaring read!’
Taran Matharu, NYT bestselling author of the Summoner and Contender series

it was enjoyable but not great. narration of Lettle sounded like a whinging child not an adult plus Yeeran sounded like urine.

I enjoyed the story. Performance was good, although some of the accents did annoy me slightly. Not sure I will continue the series as it was a little slow in places and made some big leaps which felt jumbled.

Good story

Agree with a number of the other reviews in that the world is engaging, but the plot twists little predictable. Would have enjoyed more had the narrator not given some of the characters cloying voices, most of which faded and merged into one towards the end.

Little disappointing

Where do I start with this one???

I loved this. I knew I’d like it, but I didn’t expect to LOVE it.

There is two main characters in this book but they’re actually both interesting and captivating???

Groundbreaking.

Usually I’m groaning when I get to the other POV chapter and wishing it was shorter so I can get back to the plot line I care about. None of that here!

The characters are interesting and flawed and three dimensional.

The world is vast and mysterious and in a never ending war AND full of legendary/misunderstood creatures that are just chefs kiss.

Also, this is TWISTYYYYYY.

I’m so excited for book two. This was a great read!
