adventurous challenging inspiring tense slow-paced

While the pacing if this book is slow  it is so incredibly imersive you don't realise it. You're so wrapped up in the characters and their intense emotions you want every scene to last just a little longer!

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.
