I love her, I love her, I LOVE HER!
Alizeh has to be one of my favourite protagonists of all time. Her silent strength, selfless kindness and quiet resillience had my heart aching while simultaneously also bursting with pride. She was such a wonderful person who has suffered so much without ever losing her vibrant spirit or gentle heart; I adored her so much.

The romance was very gripping as well: Their feelings for each other were so poignant and vivid. I could feel the wonder and deep emotion coming in waves from both Alizeh and Kamran whenever they were in each other’s company; it might have felt overdone or overly intense had even a slight thing been done differently, but the way it was now, it was truly perfectly done. I felt their love deeply and truthfully, and their chemistry continued to blow me away. It was beautiful.

”I think I might fetch you the moon if only to spare your tears again.”

The side characters were genuinely amazing as well.
-Hazan was such an intriguing character and I feel like his loyalty and dedication to Alizeh had hidden depths I cannot wait to uncover further.
-Cyrus has only been introduced near the end, so I don’t know much, but he definitely seems like a fun character who can add a whole new dimension to the already amazing storyline we’ve had so far!
-I found Miss Huda terribly humerous in a slightly pathetic yet still endearing way. I can’t say I know her that well yet, but I feel like her friendship with Alizeh could be rather sweet and heartwarming if it gets the chance to blossom; she definitely seems like she would benefit from someone kindhearted around her.
-Now, of course, I cannot forget to mention my baby, Omid. He was such a pure and adorable kid, I fell in love with him instantly. He was the absolute sweetest little child, and his unlikely friendship with Alizeh warmed my heart until it positively glowed. Their scenes together always put the biggest, brightest smile on my face.

The writing was also stunning, absolutely gorgeous. I have only praise for it. It gripped me from the very first page and didn’t let me go until the very end; I loved it all the way through and I genuinely felt like I was fully transported into this new world with these new people I have grown to love and care about.

In other words: I loved this book wholly and completely. I cannot wait for the next installment so I can find out what will happen next…!

I honestly can’t believe that the same author that wrote the Shatter Me series wrote this. Guess that’s what a decade of writing experience will do for you.

I loved this book. The characters are so fun to follow and the main character is wonderful and I always love tahereh mafi because her writing is so distinctive and her imagery is so tangible you feel like you can feel the air in a room. The world building is intriguing and I love the incorporation of magic and also humanity and I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK
