Book Review: Haalim – Episode #20 (By Nemrah Ahmed)

Episode 20 was uploaded on the author’s FB page on Apr 6.

This episode has 97 pages and is sufficiently long.

The episode begins and ends in old Malaka. The sweet banter between  Talia and Fateh, The mind games between Talia, Murad Raja, Abul Khair, Sultan Mursal, Yon Sofu, Wong Li are back.

And it is brutal.

My favourite part of the episode was the conversation between Talia and Fateh. I just love the subtle romance.


I have said this before and would reiterate myself. Something that Nemrah does with aplomb – she creates a lovely and intense romantic chemistry without any physical touch.

I wonder if the story will end in old Malaka or new one?

Ideally, it should be in the new era. however, it’s Nemrah we are talking about. Anything is possible.

What’s your take on this episode?


Happy reading!
