(Upgraded to a full five stars on reread)
I've been a bit lukewarm with YA fantasy lately, so I went into this not sure if I was going to like it and was immediately hooked. Alizeh is a lowly servant trying to make ends meet by taking up tailoring jobs on the side, however, she is actually the heir to the Jinn throne who it has been prophesied will overthrow the human king who forced the Jinn into submission. She is discovered by Kamran, prince and heir to the throne,

who makes his grandfather (the king) aware of her without realizing the full weight of what he's done as he falls in love with her. There's a bit of a Cinderella vibe as the whole thing ends in a ball that Alizeh is mysteriously given a dress and slippers to wear at and where Kamran is supposed to choose his bride. Of course, things go very wrong and this ended with such a crazy cliffhanger that I need the sequel immediately!

I want to go back to this lush yet brutal world of magic, political turmoil, and romance!

Literally loved the tension in this book. I’d say it’s YA, but I still absolutely adored the romance. It was perfectly slow burn, and I don’t think there’s a single character I hated (except the ones your supposed to hate).

Started out a bit slow but once I got about 100 ish pages in I could not stop reading it!!! Such a strong female lead. If you like books with a strong female lead, read this. 

I need answers though. Book 2???? When??? I need it!!!
