Revenge is the name of the game. I was told it was a Pakistan, Monte Cristo retelling and it was exactly that. It was a good book, but exactly what I expected. I think I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much because I didn’t fully understand the cultures norms and the intensity of the repercussions within that culture. I loved learning about all the different foods and clothing and magic within the Pakistan culture. I also think this would’ve been better as a longer book with more emotional details and events building up to the end instead of getting flashback throughout the book.

Gender bent Count of Monte Cristo meets Pakistani fantasy. This retelling was spellbinding and spirited - really enjoyed the new setting. The pacing felt inconsistent and the payoffs didn't always match the build up.
