Publishers Weekly (starred review)
on A Torch Against the Night

Infusing her story with magic, Tahir proves to be a master of suspense and a canny practitioner of the cliffhanger, riveting readers’ attention throughout. As for her co-protagonists, they remain captivating characters who invite strong reader empathy, and their action-packed, breathlessly paced story is enthralling.
