I was anticipating this book for so long and devoured it like it was oxygen. With how book 2 ended, I was on the edge of my seat from the get go with this book. The varying relationships in this book mixed with the high-stakes plot was enthralling. Kamran’s one goal is to get revenge, but the growing tension and curiosity between Alizeh and Cyrus might get in the way of his goals. I cannot wait to continue this journey in the next book!

God, he’d wanted her. He’d wanted her with an all-consuming thirst, with the desperation of a man waiting to die.
CYRUS OF NARA, THE MAN THAT YOU ARE.
this entire book was him being #1 simp for alizeh and i'm not mad about it. i'm loving the rag tag found family vibe developing. i've been a hazan/kamran shipper since book 1 but other things may be developing 👀 and i like it.
i do think more could have happened plotwise in this book, but for the cyrus content she gave me i don't even care. i'll read 6 books of him pining for alizeh. also this got SURPRISINGLY steamy, ok tahereh!!!!
“Do you think I’ve been lying to you?”
“Yes,” she said, and paused. “Except that I have the strangest feeling you might be lying about how horrible you are.”
She was a fool to think otherwise. He was a fool to think of her at all.

This book!!!! I cannot express how much I love this series. It has been in the back of my mind since I read the first book in the spring, and it’s one that I haven’t stopped talking about or recommending.
I want to be brief in the description since it is the third installment within the series. All This Twisted Glory is a beautifully crafted fantasy story with romantic elements—in writing and in the love story. Mafi’s world is elegantly shaped and you can feel a sense of every characters even if there is no context for which the character is speaking. I love Alizeh and I can’t get enough of her and Cyrus. They give so much angst and energy to the story and I’m craving to get the fourth installment, like I’m ready to bust down the doors for that book.
Additionally, as a warning, the beginning (maybe around the first hundred pages) is a bit confusing and wordy. At times, I found it hard to concentrate on what’s being described; however, Mafi while she is usually a descriptive writer, I had a hard time following the first few chapters. This story and writing is very much on the vibes end of the spectrum, so if you liked Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy you will adore this series as well! After that first few chapters, I flew through this book and I never wanted it to end. It has to be my favorite of the series and I will be buying a copy in store on the release day.
