This is very fun, and I'm excited to read the second book in the series. Shahrzad is strong and conflicted, and the story does a really interesting process of unfolding.

3.0

Somehow this whole book felt like one long prolog to a bigger story. Nothing really happened plotwise and considering how the romance was very much on the instalove side of things, this book also didn’t really take a lot of time to give characters time to have deep conversations and really get to know each other. 

I did enjoy the interesting political conflicts that were created and the hints to magical powers we got glimpses of. 

The writing style was nice and engaging, that it was easy and engaging to just keep on reading. 

Overall I’m just whelmed by this book’s story but I did enjoy reading it.
