This book suffered from classic middle of a trilogy syndrome in setting up the drama to come. I didn't remember much of book one, so some of the context and stress points were missing. As usual, I'm unconvinced by the burgeoning love triangle, but I understand it as a plot point.

Tahereh Mafi just does it for me every time. I don’t think I can wait until next year for the final book.
ALIZEHCYRUS ENDGAME IDC. At first, I was like “Nooo, I hate Cyrus. Give me Kamran, I love Kamran” but then, after finishing, I was like “Wait…who’s Kamran???” (Still love him though). I do like Alizeh and Cyrus better together because I felt like they had more of a connection. Kamran, I felt, only wanted to be with her because she’d make a good queen, but Cyrus wants to be with her because she’s her. If that makes sense. I’ve actually never seen a man on his knees for a woman like this in my life, and I am absolutely living for it.

Tahereh Mafi always seems to make me fall for murders… It’s really bad… I also don’t know how she’s made me fall for a blond and now and ginger man. It’s like her specialty.
This is by far the best sequel I have ever read. Usually, sequels don’t live up to my expectations, but this one exceeded them.
