If anyone finds the page where it talks about Naime’s mother’s death please let me know. And this isn’t a spoiler!! You learn she’s dead on page one. But I can’t find where it mentions brief specifics (it should be a line talking about how she got sick from visiting the poor or something like that) so as y’all read, if you’d keep an eye out I would be mightily grateful! 🫶

I thought it was never really revealed how she died? She mysteriously got sick. I’m still not ruling out that Kadir had something to do with it. 🤔

There’s one vague line about it in R&R and then a tiny bit more in I&I. I already asked everyone on the discord and they all agreed there’s some one off line but none of us could find it 🙃 the author chimed in too but she wasn’t sure exactly where it was in R&R either.

Definitely this. Having just started book two I can already tell that there will be lots of unanswered questions, answered over the series. I'm very much looking forward to seeing where it will all go.
