This blog is dedicated to the musings of my original character Saria Ahmed, the protagonist/antagonist of my Kite Runner fanfiction, Devil with the Angel's Eyes. She was created when I became bored of reading fanfictions based simply around Amir rescuing Hassan. While I admit these stories are brilliant, and very thought provoking, I simply wanted to write something a little different, and thus, I created Saria and her world.
Saria is the younger sister of Khaled Hosseini's Assef, the sociopathic, Hitler-loving bully who rapes Hassan in the aforementioned author's novel. She is just as fierce, and violent as her older brother, but is connected to him with that strong love they share for one another. Saria could be classified as a 'sociopath' one who takes pleasure in the misery of others, yet who also is fiercely protective of those she loves.
Why did I choose Kite Runner as the basis for my fanfiction?
Well. To put it simply, I fell in love with the story. How often do you read a book that makes you think, that transports you to another world, another country? I lived these characters lives, I felt their emotions, I loved, hated, and cried with them. Hosseini was able to create a world in which I not only learned about Afghanistans history, but I actually ENJOYED doing it. Not many stories do this for me.
I do not own the Kite Runner. Any characters, settings, words or ideas used in the book are copyrighted by Khaled Hosseini. No monitary gain is being made via the publication of this blog, not the writing of the fanfiction.
Saria Ahmed, Adia, Masood, Ahtrai, and any characters and plot devices not found in Hosseini's original work are owned by me.
