"The story is one of kindness and healing, a good read for all, especially young adults, with its interesting plot and fluid storyline. Ms Sinclair's years of teaching and storytelling experience shines through the fluent flow of text and her language."-
Mitali Chakravarty, Kitaab.org
"[Nur] makes a strong role model for young readers who may grow spiritually by getting to know this 'ideal Muslim' figure close to their age."-Alt Muslimah
"I would recommend it for people of all ages. There's something beautiful about reading a novel that's fictional in nature but has great lessons and reminds you of Allah. It genuinely brought a smile to my face seeing ayahs of the Qur'an interwoven into the narrative. There are also a lot of beautiful metaphors and imagery about life in the book. It's a novel about dealing with pain, grief and finding your path back to Allah but most importantly, it's also a book about triumph!"-muslimgirljournal.com
"When Wings Expand is the type of story that requires the reader to put aside expectations of action and adventure, and to appreciate a softer, more subtle narrative. After all, not everyone's lives are raucous and dramatic; sometimes, the most beautiful tales are ones of quiet sorrows and private joys."-thesalafifeminist
