I don't think I would want to read a sequel because I wasn't a huge fan of the first one. If there was a 2nd book, maybe they can write one that focuses only on Nadia and her determination to gain her independence from the men in her life.

I would like to read more about Nadia, though I wasn't that huge fan of the first book either.

I do not think I would prefer a sequel unless it ends with a happily ever after scenario. If Elias and Mallika finally come together, Yasser and Miriam finally begin to love each other again, and if Nadia is freed from the clutches of her husband, only then will a review be interesting and worth reading.

A happily ever after scenario not always fits the tale. In the case of Nadia, I am not sure it is possible in her culture.

I don't see how the story to continue in a more catching plot. I think the story is intended to end this way.

I think it could, maybe by focusing on Malika.

Ok, I got the point of having a sequel or several sequels. I want a sequel focusing on each of the Characters. I want to follow Malika in her quest.

Same here. I would like to follow Maalika every step of the way to her quest rather than reading it through Elias.

I don't think this book needs a sequel, it would be completely unnecessary. I have to admit I didn't find it that interesting, which might be the reason why. If I had to choose what would the sequel be about, I'd definitely go for breaking the limits with Nadia and freeing her from her husband. It would be interesting to see a solution even though it doesn't seem possible at first.

Maybe if the second story showed her husband apologizing to her and accepting his mistake, or maybe her remarrying someone who can love her better, then a sequel would be enjoyable.

I think the book ended perfectly with a touch of mystery that it begun with not everything is supposed to be wrapped up in a happy bow in some way all characters got some sense of closure and sometimes that's all that matters

He was her ex and abused her, so I don't think it is possible.

I want a different ending for Elias like Malika. I prefer an ending for Elias that will bring his family to a happy one. And Elias will become a good husband and a father to his children without pretentions.
