But he told her that, to his chagrin, nothing in the library on that topic was written by Muslims. “She wanted to study about Prophet Muhammad and what he said about god and her opinion was if she could find it irrational, as she expected, she would abandon this subject once and for all,” the book states.Īssami then asked her father to help her find a book on the Prophet Muhammad. (Her father, a scientist, did not believe in God.) But she first grew interested in Islam after a biased comparative religion presentation by a history teacher. “She wished she had God who could talk to her and guide her like the Prophets had.”Īccording to that biography, Assami grew up in a family of atheists. “She was always seeking after Truth but her father did not believe in God,” a biography of Assami in Why Women Are Accepting Islam states. These days, she’s better known as Umm Muhammad to followers, or by her chosen name, Aminah. But before long, she found meaning in the Qur’an and pursued language studies at Damascus University, eventually converting to Islam and moving to Saudi Arabia. While her peers were busy getting high in bellbottoms, Emily Assami spent the 1970s studying Arabic in Damascus, Syria, where the California-born woman had moved with her Arab husband.

Here’s a quick list of things you can expect to find in The Caged Queen: Yes! They aren’t the focus like in The Last Namsara, but there are definitely dragons in book 2. Will there be dragons in THE CAGED QUEEN? You’ll get a lot more of Roa’s history, what exactly happened between her and Dax all those years ago, why she did what she did in book 1, what’s with the mysterious white bird always at her side, and what happens next in the lives of her, Dax, Safire, Asha, and Torwin. With that said, book 2 is ultimately about Roa and what happens shortly after the events of The Last Namsara. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about The Caged Queen (Book 2 in the Iskari series) and thought this might be a good place to answer them!

But that’s what makes Rath so fun to follow: he’s cynical and grumbles a lot, but also has a huge heart, a streak of vulnerability a mile wide, and a strong sense of justice. To be fair, he’d probably be far better off if he didn’t keep having to giving away his money to repay his father’s debts. He lives at the very bottom rungs of society, scraping by working both as a day labourer and prostitute. Is the premise inherently ridiculous? Yes! Is the secret identity of the stranger who Rath picks up at a bar at the beginning of the story obvious? Definitely! Are some of the competition tasks nooot necessarily ones a future noble or royal’s consort needs to excel at? Probably! Does any of this lessen the book’s charm? Nope!Ĭentral to the charm is Rath himself. Tournament of Losers is a silly and adorable rags-to-riches story with a gay romance. And so off the reluctant, down-on-his-luck Rath goes. Suddenly, the prize money that the contestants get if they make it through the first couple rounds of the tournament starts looking pretty good. Rath has no particular interest in the competition - and he’s sure it’s rigged anyway - but then a loan shark who his dad owes big comes knocking. The eponymous tournament in Megan Derr’s Tournament of Losers is a competition where commoners compete against each other for the chance to marry into the noble and royal houses. |
