Review by: Toni V. Sweeney on July 22, 2012 : (no rating)
A fairly short but good story about finding the courage to speak the truth. Told from both Amana and Husan’s POVs, their sides of the tale are contrasted to show exactly how much they are faithful to their countries and binding to duty but how each also seeks that elusive factor, love, and wishes to have a mate who is just that and not simply a political tool. Right off, the reader learns that Husan is a man who can be patient and attempt to convince his bride to love him, while Amana responds and wishes she could tell him exactly how she feels. The only other character is Rushad who’s featured only briefly but he’s given very good characterization as a father wanted the best for his child and his country while not really understanding his daughter’s wish for “love.” His response is, more or less, “What’s love got to do with it?” But to both Husan and Amana, it has everything.

Only 25 pages, but definitely enjoyable.

I give it 4 Stars.
