I was ready to add this book to my all-time favorites before the last hundred or so pages. Regardless, I was breathtaken multiple times both before and after that mark. It really left an impression on me.

Very mystical but also far too cliched and corny. I am interested in the history covered, Islam, mysticism, etc and I could not get into it. It simply did not feel believable. 

An enjoyable valentines month read. Enjoyed the focus on a spiritual and purer form of love which was refreshing from the usual smutty valentines reads.

So before jumping into this one 
I had read Bastard of Istanbul which I love very much . Considering this one I enjoyed alot although I would suggest someone who is in hope of being book similar to Bastard would be bit disappointed since it has alot of here and there teachings but overall great book folks

One hell of my favorite books, when I picked the book I didn't think I'll end up loving it this much, I'm amazed by how good it was, will definitely read it again
