A deathless girl's single-minded pursuit of the cure for a mysterious plague entangles her in a web of intrigue as an immortal ruler becomes set on uncovering the truth of her existence . . . and her hold on his attention in Merciful Carnage, the first in a new fantasy romance duology from USA Today bestselling author, Sara Hashem.
Tala's life has been defined by her inability to die. Her superstitious village has treated her with distrust and hostility since she was found floating in the Liyan River as a newborn. When a mysterious water-borne plague starts to ravage the oasis villages, Tala is sent across the desert to the city of Axsanda to seek refuge for her village. Determined to find a cure to the plague, Tala will stop at nothing to prove herself a worthy healer and member of her community.
Upon Tala's arrival in Axsanda, a would-be fatal encounter lands her in front of Selim, the chillingly beautiful High Judge and first of the four immortal siblings ruling the land. Intrigued by Tala, Selim agrees to shelter her village if she remains in his palace until they arrive.
Despite his detachment from mortal emotions, Selim finds himself increasingly fascinated by the odd, ambitious girl, but Tala's deathlessness threatens the sacred balance he is sworn to uphold. As Tala hunts for a cure to the plague, Selim hunts for an answer to her existence.
As terrifying omens spread across Axsanda and Tala shows signs of an impossible power, the two must reckon with their attraction . . . and its catastrophic consequences.

yea, I knew I was gonna be obsessed the second I saw this:
this carnage was NOT merciful omg.... I genuinely do not have the words to describe what this book did to me. I am OBSESSED. every character. every interaction. every insane plot development. every single line. I gulped this book down like ice fresh water at 3AM.
dare I say this was better than The Jasad Heir??? because I fear I have to say it. I went into this book with ridiculously high expectations after the scorched throne duology, and somehow this book still managed to destroy me in the best possible way.
tala. MY GIRL. I don't even know where to start with her. she is fucking crazy and I mean that with the highest level of affection possible. her thoughts, her emotions, her fears, the way she reacts to everything… I felt like she is ME and I am HER. y'all genuinely don't understand. I was so deep inside her head that every emotional breakdown felt so personal. I loved getting to see all of her contradictions and all the things she tries to hide, & watching her navigate everything absolutely wrecked me. she is one of those characters that makes you want to reach into the book and shake her while simultaneously giving her the biggest hug ever.
selim if you thought arin of nizahl was fine, just WAIT until you meet MY MAN- selim, his glory, the high judge. I am actually unwell. the way he was so down bad for tala had me screaming into my pillow. and the fact that he supposedly has no capability to feel, yet the things he says and does for her??? poetic asffff. the way he would do literally anything for tala. I was GONE. absolutely finished. there was no saving me.
and the ending???? I AM DEAD.
I stared at my screen like 🧍♀️ because I cannot believe I potentially have to wait 1-2+ YEARS to find out what happens next. that should be illegal actually. I need the next book immediately because I am not emotionally equipped to sit here and think about that ending for the next several years.
and now that Tala and Selim are enemies??? oh I already know I am going to be SICK over the next book. the angst. the betrayal. the tension. the yearning. the absolute emotional devastation that is inevitably coming. I just KNOW it's going to be beautiful and painful and I am already preparing to have my heart ripped out all over again. (I don't think this is a spoiler since Tala and Selim being soulmates to enemies is part of how the book is marketed)
I don't know what exactly this book did to me, but I am changed. permanently altered. emotionally compromised. this book has officially joined the list of books that make me wish I could erase my memory just so I could experience them for the first time again. please don't call for the next 5 business days...
10/10. 5 stars. 500 stars. whatever number is required to properly communicate how insane I am about this book.
thank you to Orbit & Sara Hashem for giving me the opportunity for an ARC! all opinions are my own 🫶🏽

September 2, 2026UPDATE: jaw dropped....i got approved for the ARC....after dusting off the cobwebs on my netgalley account in god knows how long....arin and essiya did this for me omg
-----
this being marketed as just soulmates to enemies.....i see we're writing tropes we've never written before...the carnage doesn't sound like it'll be very merciful.
mind you i'm still on the bridge with arin and i'm about to jump off actually!
(need to be put on watch when this comes out feb 2027, someone check in on me)

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Sara Hashem has become one of my favorite authors after The Scorched Throne duology and Where No Shadow Stays. It goes without saying that when I heard she's going to be writing an adult dark fantasy duology, I was more than excited, because more than anything, I love the characters that Sara writes so much. I love how she writes plot and world-building in a way that gets me intrigued to know more. Naturally, I went into this book with insanely high expectations, already so sure that this would not be a letdown.
Starting from what I like about the book, I actually do think that Sara Hashem's world-building and creativity in this book are improved compared to her previous duology. The writing, the atmosphere, the way she describes the scenery as if she's taking us along the journey with our main character, it's a sight to behold. Aside from that, the lore and history that she creates to be the background of the setting and the main foundation of the conflicts in the book is so fascinating, because we didn't know exactly what happened since different regions have a different version of history. The concept of the Sunstrikers having powers, 4 brothers who ruled with Selim as the head, and the animosity between two deities truly was quite well done. Unfortunately, those are as far as I can go with what I find enjoyable about this book.
Let's start with what I find lacking, dare I say, dislike, about this book. First of all, this is the first time I've read a book by her that I actively dislike the main cast. I was already used to Sylvia and Arin, who are vastly different from Tala and Selim. And honestly, I wouldn't mind it at all, but their characters in this book are honestly aggravating. Tala's story overall genuinely had no business being that way unless it's to be a villain character arc. She went through the grinder all her life, with the people in her village having such animosity that they kept killing her multiple times to no end (because she's deathless), yet she STILL couldn't grow a spine to at least get away from them. She somehow still wanted to be acknowledged by them, as if she has anything to prove to the people who fundamentally wanted her gone. It's aggravating to see her act like that for decades and not even try to defend herself, and the fact that the main driving point of the book is for her to find a cure for her village and help them all makes me so annoyed. Not to mention she was also responsible for the lives of her 4 scorpions too, which pisses me off, especially with the way she dismissed their logical and reasonable advice because she thinks she knows better when, in fact, anything she thinks of blows up in her face. Imagine my surprise when it was revealed that Tala is 26 years old, when, in fact, she acts like she's at most 18 years old during their most annoying phase. The way she bows down to everyone who seeks to harm her, yet somehow talks back to Selim without reservations despite knowing the possible outcome, is downright moronic, and she's lucky he didn't feel particularly homicidal at that moment.
Which brings me back to my next point: the romance aspect of this book. From how much I loved Sylvia and Arin, I was also expecting to fall head over heels with Tala and Selim, but that is not at all the case. In fact, I find the romance to be the weakest aspect of this. There is this immortal guy who ruled over everyone else, someone who has all the magic in the world, who is closed off, cold, and known to be impartial to everyone and to uphold justice above everything else. And somehow, by some magic, he's so intrigued by this random girl who stumbles into his life because she caused an upheaval because she's an idiot, and he lets her stay in the palace despite everyone else around him telling him it's a bad omen for him to do that. I've seen so many romances in romantasies where it's a bumbling fool, bright-eyed, lacking common sense woman being paired with a sensible, cold, and closed-off immortal man, and I was disheartened when I found out in the middle of reading this that the book has that overused romance cliché too. We find out later on that there's this concept of soulmates in this world for the 4 Sunstriker Siblings, and that when they find their other half, they're going to merge and the partner gets their share of immortality and power. They weren't even close yet when he felt that pull to her and felt like he was falling for her, and the only times they truly spent together were when they ate dinner, and Selim watched her eat because he was bored out of his mind, and there's genuinely no bonding being done there. Their dynamic was akin to a human adopting a stray cat and being fond of and amused by it while watching the cat eat and settle at its new home.
Once we get to the point where they finally accepted that they're both bonded, they start waxing corny poetry about each other, which I call corny because it's something that no human being would say out loud to each other, and then they start acting like absolute dicks. Selim also underwent a brutal character assassination after being bonded with Tala, which is a damn shame since I'm fond of him at the start of the book until around halfway through the book.
I do have to say that while everyone else finds the end of the book shocking, I was already expecting the absolute worst given how frustrated I was reading this book. It makes absolutely no sense to the character arc of Tala as a whole, because it felt like a sudden change of heart that serves as a way to service the plot instead of something that makes sense to her character, which is already an overestimation on my part since Tala's character is pointless and stupid. Even so, I am tentatively curious about the direction the author will take the next book towards.

── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ──If Sara hashem's books are anything I would say they’re refreshing to read. After reading fantasy/romantasy books that are all the same tropes and plots but in different fonts, it's refreshing to see someone challenge themselves and actually create a different and unique story.
ᨒ 𓆈 𖤓 𓆣 𖤓 𓆙 ᨒ
જ⁀➴‧₊˚✧ Plot𓍝 I would say that to my standard this book was kind of slow, specially the first half, But I do see why it was slow. We took our time to learn about the characters and their lore, the world building was described perfectly even though it was complicated. The story had huge depths and we learned it all. It built up to a very good conclusion in the end that leaves you satisfied and waiting for the sequel. I really need to know what happens next, these characters were all amazingly written in great detail and I neeeeed to continue their story. And since I can’t say much I will just say that the ending had my jaw on the floor and I couldn't pick it up. Should've expected it cause it's Sara but she still surprised me to my core.
· · ─ ·☽𖤓☾· ─ · ·
જ⁀➴Characters: ･⊹₊ㆍ✿ㆍ yes.yes.yes. Like I said, refreshing. Our fmc was a new kind of character that I rarely see introduced in fantasy. We just love to see female leads with both their weak and strong sides. We love to see female leads that have humane qualities that are relatable. We most definitely love to see character developments that are written perfectly. Tala wasn't written to entertain the reader by always doing the right thing and being perfect in every situation (which I find boring most of the time). She was a girl with trauma, a backstory, and she was trying her best and I loved seeing it, I loved seeing her learn what's best for her.
➛Selim, I sometimes wonder if Sara hashem sat down and thought "what could I add to the story that would make the mmc yearn to extreme levels that no one would expect??" I'm about 99.99% sure that that was her thought process cause damn. I loved seeing the changes in his character that came with Tala's appearance in his life.
➛I loved the scorpions!! Such a good addition to the story, I definitely built a bond with them. They were perfect side characters that really stood in the story and made it even more enjoyable.
𓂃 ོ⋆☀︎𓂃ᨒོ
જ⁀➴┆❥ Romance I feel like I got introduced to a new type of trope that is out of my box, I usually don't go for this type of romances but are you KIDDING??? I was taken aback. The romance in this was so unique to me and SO GOOD. I was lately struggling with finding a romance that could actually make me giggle and kick my feet and I FOUND ONE. By saying romance don't get fooled. This was a subplot romance that is a slowburn full of yearning, which is exactly what I normally prefer and like. The yearning came from both sides, but selim was particularly a very determined and a perfect yearner. The small gestures, the intense but gentle want. I was having a time reading this and seeing their interactions and the tension between them. I can’t believe the ending, and I can't believe that I don't even know when I will be able to read the sequel. Sara hashem you owe me the earliest copy of it the moment you finish writing it. I mean I'll even help with the editing girl just include me.

╰┈>Overall‧₊˚✧ I loved everything about this, I loved being In that world and seeing the little egyptian words and foods included in the middle! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to read a good fantasy with a unique story but at the same time it reminded me of the feelings I used to get when I first started reading fantasy at a younger age. The excitement, the rush, the butterflies, and definitely the shocks!

Review of Advanced Copy Received from Publisher
Thank you so much to Orbit, NetGalley, and Sara for allowing me the privilege of reading this book early!
Are you actually kidding me right now. I should have known. I shouldn’t have trusted Sara!!!! What else was I expecting, really? For a book with merciful in the title, this book was not merciful to me in the slightest. Once again Sara writes a masterpiece that rips out my heart and shatters it into a million pieces. Ok, enough of me gushing about how this book destroyed me (we all know those are my favorite types of books anyway).
I LOVED ITTT!!! Sara’s writing as per usual is super lovely, easy to read and very quotable. It was definitely a bit of a slower build, but that was a positive thing, especially since I just know book 2 is gonna be non stop action. I loved getting to know the characters and the world, and once again Sara is a master at world building. I really felt like I was there, I loved learning about the history, the creatures, the politics, and the palace. I mean cmon, who doesn’t love a sentient building!
And all the characters are so amazing: Tala. My girl. I feel your sense of wanting to belong on a spiritual level. The way she gives up piece after piece of herself, her blood, sweat and tears (literally) just hurts. She just wanted to be useful. She deserves every happiness and I’m SO excited for her in book two. I just know the female rage is gonna EAT. Plus I loved her scorpion sidekicks, they were so funny and I loved how they all constantly gave her advice and she ignores it anyway 😂 I loved all their distinct personalities. Such a wonderful addition to the story. Selim…. Oh man yes. He hasn’t felt emotions in 100 years and then a certain someone makes him feel them again… SWOON… I’m still waiting to see more of that elusive rage that was mentioned. I also really liked his political position, I feel like it was very unique for a fantasy book. I liked the concept of High Judge instead of just a king. He’s so gentle with Tala and I adored their romance. The burn was SLOWWW but worth it. I also liked the pelamore siblings (as much as I possibly could). They were very funny.
That ending. I don’t want to talk about it. I kept seeing the percentage read get closer to 100 and nothing was getting fixed, in fact, it was getting WORSE. The plot twists killed me and I am now broken. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE NOW?! Overall, such a masterpiece as usual, Sara. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much to Orbit, NetGalley, and Sara for allowing me the privilege of reading this book early!
Are you actually kidding me right now. I should have known. I shouldn’t have trusted Sara!!!! What else was I expecting, really? For a book with merciful in the title, this book was not merciful to me in the slightest. Once again Sara writes a masterpiece that rips out my heart and shatters it into a million pieces. Ok, enough of me gushing about how this book destroyed me (we all know those are my favorite types of books anyway).

Bestie has therefore ordered me to WAIT UNTIL AFTER EXAMS because she knows perfectly well that the second I open this ARC, my academic career is going to be found dead in a ditch.
She is correct.
I have absolutely no self-preservation when it comes to books.

It's hard to write reviews for books that you find perfect in every respect because you just want to compliment everything about them and you genuinely don't know where to begin. I stayed up multiple nights to finish Merciful Carnage. I barely put this story down during the day when I could help it. If I didn't have something else to do, I was reading.
It had everything I love in a fantasy novel (dark mythological backstories and worldbuilding, creatures and sentient palaces, betrayals and ancient prophecies, plot points that held so much foreshadowing and weight to them) and also everything I love in a romance (the interactions between Tala and Selim legit had me giggling and kicking my feet in bed at 2 am).
The cliffhanger this novel leaves you on was incredibly cruel and now I am dying for the sequel. There's not even a release date for the second book in this duology yet and it's so painful because I know it's going to be a long wait but at the same time, I'm so excited for what comes next.

Thank you netgalley & sara hashem for blessing me with the opportunity to read this ARC!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
I was such a fan of the scorched throne duology so i had high expectations for this book to meet & it absolutely delivered! I need the next book ASAP.
This book was described as a soulmates to enemies & gods they really meant that 😩.
I connected with tala almost instantly, i loved her character more than anything. I felt so many emotions for that girl throughout this book, she had been through so much but at times i wanted to throttle her… i enjoyed watching her finally come into her power & learning to not cower before those who hurt her. I found myself rooting for her no matter what. I cannot wait to see her absolutely devour those who harmed her in the sequel because i will be supporting my girls villain arc!!!
I didn’t feel as connected to selim, i feel like he wasn’t as fleshed out as i would’ve liked but i’m hoping we get a deeper dive into his personality & story in the sequel. I obviously still loved him how could you not?? he’s mr sunshine literally but with a side of gloom. Oh & did i forget to mention he has a literal sentient palace??
Tala & Selim had such a unique bond, i will be cheering for them no matter what happens next!! Tala being deathless & Selim basically embodying life is so poetic for them.
I was struggling at first with the plot but by the end i was thoroughly invested & left with wanting more. I found the ending a bit predictable but i still ate it up! I cannot wait to see it unfold in the sequel.
Sara Hashem knows how to write a good story & knows how to absolutely rip your heart out because that ending??? THAT WAS CRUEL 💔.

ill brb guys i need a minute after this
-. Review of advance copy received from Netgalley.
This was honestly one of my most anticipated reads of 2027, so im so happy I got to read it early. I love Sara Hashem's writing overall, but in this book specifically, it really grabbed me. I freaking love all the characters. I saw myself in Tala in ways I can't even explain. I loved Selim. The Scorpions literally have my heart. I love wittiness and banter, and I wasn't disappointed.
Give me a trope where he doesn't feel emotions until he meets her, and I'll eat it up every time, guys. I loved that it wasn't just trope-like scenes being thrown in my face. There was real political intrigue and plot. I have so many more thoughts, but I can't get over the fact that I have to wait so long for the second book. Now I'm tweaking; I need to know what happens because that ending was crazy, is all I will say.

Middle eastern authors have been killing it as of late and Sara Hashem is definitely a front runner.
Also i have another level of appreciation for her since funny authors are hard to come by and you can literally see it through her writing and characters (in both merciful carnage AND the scorched throne duology) offering lighthearted actual funny scenes without the forced feeling that you are supposed to be reading a funny scene when you are actually reading it with a straight face
Starting off with the plot⚖️:
The creative world building absolutely delivered, lately i have been feeling like all fantasy books have become similar and quite forgettable with no new aesthetics but Merciful carnage definitely raised a whole new world in my mind involving new powers and monsters and the image of it all will be imprinted in my head.
The lore was definitely complex -even though i found the pace of the book really good and the beginning didn’t feel boring like you would expect most fantasy books- it took a while to unpack which was a little frustrating but it was well built and everything added up in the end.
Characters🦂:
Tala (my literal child): it’s always so refreshing to see a well written kindhearted FMC that isn’t just a plain airhead and one that is actually smart. I loved her character throughout the entire book, every heartbreak she went through i felt to the coreee. At no point did i find her annoying and the little imperfections in her character made her all the more realistic and relatable (the people yearn for mid-book character development and not just some badass know it all with no actual background to support it). Her inner monologue was also very fun to read and her relationship with the scorpions was every bit precious and entertaining.
In conclusion: her writing was perfect.
Selim: Now i WISH so badly i could share some quotes and if you have read anything by Sara Hashem before, then you know there would be plenty. So all i can really say is hang tight and be patient because this is a good one.
Now for the last part of my review i have decided to call it
My petty thoughts🕯️:
Is it better than The Jasad Heir? In my humble opinion no, and i fear nothing will ever compare. BUT if you have enjoyed the jasad heir you will probably like this too just as much since Sara’s writing style is consistent and she’s clearly committed to writing lovable characters.
As an Egyptian woman myself, i enjoy her writing a lot, especially when i find the little crumbs of Arabic words in her books.
Will i be reading the sequel the second it comes out? Absolutely.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I'm afraid my review won't give this book justice but let me try:
My favorite thing about this book was the scorpions because what do you mean they had a unique animal and human form, could telepathically communicate with tala, and had a lifelong connection to her which meant they could feel the pain and emotions she felt?? It was such a cool and refreshing idea, and I especially loved Remi's sarcasm and wit. I want 4 scorpions to carry around everywhere and be my emotional support NOW.
This book was a such page-turner to the point of my sister asking how I was reading all day long. I LOVE TALA SO MUCH and witnessing her transformation from trying to please her wadi and gain their acceptance to coming to the realization of how undeserving they were of her efforts.
The plot twist about the infection was so unexpected but reasonable because it explained tala's single-minded pursuit of a cure and how she could barely thing of nothing else.
End of rant please give me book 2 now😭

IM SO LUCKY!!!! Sara i really do love what you’re about you are everything to me.
Got to read this early before the book comes out in February and I’m crushed because I can’t immediately read the second one.
Absolutely obsessed with Tala and her deathlessness I think her characterization and motivations are so interesting and original like I love how Sara writes the change her characters undergo in her books and Selim was super fun too. Love that he’s not actually mean to her he literally just has no emotions at first. All the additional characters in this are also great and the plot was sososo entertaining I can’t wait for the next one!!! And I love the setting and world building!!! Unique and immersive and magical I am so turnt up!!!!
My only criticism is the ending did feel a bit forced with Selim’s actions and just the communication of it all and the pacing was a bit odd then BUT i am so floored by that ending because ummmm what about that skull aye! I assume that issue will be resolved in book 2 but sara does love to be nasty with her pulling on heartstrings. Also where is my crew? Let’s figure that part out swiftly. Sara please send me book 2 I’ll even go chapter by chapter with you like the good old wattpad days. Please❤️

Thank you to NetGalley, orbit books and Sara Hashem for giving me an advanced review copy of Merciful Carnage.
I am speechless, nothing about that was merciful. Sara Hashem is solidified as an auto buy author for me. A beautifully written story that hooks you from the start. The world building is complicated but explained in a way that is easy to understand. You get enough information to know what’s happening but still have desire to keep reading to learn more. The character development and relationship in this story were beautifully woven and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Our fmc goes on such a journey learning to choose herself and to stop trying to please others. I loved this story so much!

August 31, 2026Such a great book I loved it. I have some reservations about the main character's all too swift change of heart and thesomewhat young adult feel of the main character but it does get the point accross that she's had limited human exposure other than being resented so it makes sense. Either way love this author and love this book can't wait for the next one, I am a sucker for middle Eastern and desert based fantasy romance combos.
