A short but intricate story.

The ending left me feeling conflicted as you can't call it a happy ending by any means - but also not a tragedy.

Spoiler

Essentially both parties lied to each other and.. Let's be honest Anes let himself be used as a weapon for the enemys of the privy council (even if forced or as a means of survival).

[collapse]

But Anes is such a delicate, tragic and heartwarming character - you can't help but wish him all the joy in the world.

Spoiler

That's why Hamzas "betrayal" hits harder than Anes essentially sending Hamza to his death. Anes feels as if he is only a tool which is used by everyone.. And one of the few people he thought was an unblemished charakter - is in reality not at all what he thought. And again he was used by everyone around him. So even if Hamza is really in love with Anes and wishes to gift him a better life and affection - Anes didn't ask for that. And it's obvious at the end that Anes doesn't want to be caged again. But Hamza doesn't aknowledge that and essentially forces himself on him (in the name of love) which Anes surrenders to (as he always did) - while feeling broken and betrayed.

I guess I just hope that eventually (in the future which is not told) he would accept Hamzas love again while I hope for Hamza to make him feel free, happy and in control (which won't happen I guess but one can dream)

[collapse]

I really enjoyed this story and it made me stop and think for a moment about what I would have done in Anes situation.

Definitely one of my favorites (and usually I only read storys with a happy ending) <<less

A well-written short story, but I didn't expect it to end this badly. I don't mean it was written badly, I mean that I was hoping for a happy ending but it ended up more bittersweet and sad. I suppose it isn't an outright tragedy, which is why it wasn't tagged as such, but for those who want a nice and happy ending, this one doesn't have it.

Spoiler

the two main characters do get together, but there are twist and turns and lies involved, and although Hamza loves him very much, Anes is pretty much a bird in a cage in the end, because he doesn't have a choice in staying with Hamza. Even though he probably did love "Hamza", he loved a different "Hamza."

[collapse]

Perhaps it could become a HE, in a future we do not read about, but for what is written, I am sad. <<less

Those who probably rated it as one star or two stars are probably the ones who did not like the ending. If you look at the title, you would understand why it ended that way. The plot was actually good, the translation is great. If you want a light-hearted read, then I suggest you do a 180 //laughs

It’s not a story that would make you cry; at most it would just make you sad and feel bad for the MC. But the pace was okay, it’s a good short story... more>> with a tiny bit of angst at the end. Give it a read, maybe it would make you contemplate about the end too. <<less

This novel definitely had me thinking. I can't say it was a happy ending nor can I say it was bad ending. I was totally shocked about the twist. I would have not have expected that from Anes much less Hamza! The novel was a good read, definitely different and complicated with emotions that come to the forefront towards the end of the novel. The MC is complicated, while the ML I believe is a bit more sincere with his feelings.

Spoiler

Anes went through so much! Hamza identity was the all time shocker. Not sure what the significance of the children towards the end of the novel. Is it that they will it the future help Anes?? It like Anes went from one master to the next, but perhaps this one will be different, although it seems Anes has resigned himself to living that type of life. Then again, Anes was manipulating Hamza as well and he had done so in the past. This ending like bitter sweet.

This is a very bittersweet story. Much of it is the process of falling in love and learning about what has scarred their life. Which is lovely and touching.

But there is a twist that really hits you right in the heart!
Spoiler

This is basically a spy v spy scenario. So I feel very conflicted about the ending. It's complicated but they both lied to each other and all the lies are revealed at the end.

The reader is left asking do you trust that love? Is it still sweet and caring? Or is it sinister and controlling? Was it ever truly love?

I wanted to read this story, but it was unreadable on my pc (Windows 10 w/Edge, Chrome, Firefox), my tablet, and my phone

The issue is the lines are too long and go behind menus, photos, and frames. Reading is stress relief and I’ve tried way too many ways to read this story

Too bad. It looked interesting
