Mixed emotion with this book. I loved it but it kinda lack the excitement I get in turning the pages but that cliffhanger ending was epic! Give me the next book! I like the worldbuilding though but the characters are like meh okay.

I loved this book. It's inspired by Persian mythology, which is so fascinating and has so many things I absolutely adore - lyrical writing, a compelling character-driven story, forbidden romance, clashing empires, and

dragons

! 

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed Alizeh as our main character. The life she's had to live has been so difficult and she still has such a strong sense of compassion and care for all those around her, even if they've treated her poorly. Her strength and will to always do the right thing is admirable. 

I had a bit of a difficult time liking Kamran at the start of the book. He's moody, judgmental, and a bit of a snob. I loved seeing him realize how his preconceived notions are so wrong and how he's had to really reconsider how he thinks about certain situations. I'm interested to see what happens with his character over the course of the series. 

This is a very character driven and high vibes type of book so while there is a good intriguing plot, at times it feels like there's not a lot happening. I personally loved the pacing and how character driven it was, but if that's not something you enjoy this may not be the book for you, but I loved it so much and can't wait to read more.

Great pace, interesting plot, captivating characters and a plot-twist that managed to shock me but still made sense in relation to the story.
The book's main flaws stem from clichés of the genre (characters who desperately love each other after talking twice, a vulgar number of coincidences and far-fetched solutions, a character who stumbles and falls all the time despite being able to fight several people at the same time , etc). But that doesn't stop the book from being entertaining , interesting and really, really funny.
