adventurous mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Altough the first half of this books was rather slow, it picked up nicely in the latter half. The first part was slow because of necessary worldbuilding and character development. 
The book is beautifully written, the educated characters in this book actually sound smart through their words. 
The book produced some really beautiful quotes.
Also the narrator of the audiobook that I listened along to whilst reading was phenomenal.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I NEED THE REST OF THIS SERIES RIGHT MEOW. This is my first Tahereh Mafi book, and I am both floored by the beauty of her storytelling and writing and by her intricate worldbuilding and character development. Please give us the rest of this series soon. PLEASE. I need more

Alizeh and Kamran, and my heart won't be able to bear it if she really marries Cyrus

. This Persian-mythology-inspired forbidden-romance trilogy is easily going to be one of my favorite book series ever. I just know it.
