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.

Very interesting use of Persian mythology and philosophy to construct a fantasy world with the ideas of castes, fabric arts, and Jinn interwoven. Has some Cinderella vibes. 
I greatly appreciate the lack of spice.

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.

The concept was actually really interesting.

A shame it was half wasted on a lacklustre execution.
