Cyrus all the way I love him though I do feel bad for kamran cuz I’m pretty sure he’s the Adam of the story so I’m tryna not get attached to him
Aliezeh and Cyrus hating each other but then feeling for each other it’s all going in a good pace not much plot happened but it was not boring at all 
Alizeh is not an insufferable fmc like u see in other fantasy books she’s stands her ground and deeply cares about ppl around her

Quotes :
"You have no idea what I want. I have been in agony for eight months, Alizeh. Do you know how hard it's been to pretend I don't know you? To pretend I don't want you? To act as if I haven't known every inch of your body in my dreams? To learn that your heart has been entangled elsewhere? I look at you and I can't breathe. In my mind, you are already mine."

"God, you're so beautiful," he said, his smile vanishing. "Even when you lie to me."

You mean, you were trying to console me?”
“Bloody hell, Alizeh, knock it off.”
“All right, okay,” she said with a sigh.
“Good.”
“Me?” she said again. “You were trying to console me?”
“You know what, you can walk back to the castle—” 
lol I love the banter

This one was slightly better than the first book, however this was very underwhelming and the finale is not as strong as the first book tbh. Someone said this book was no plot just vibes and I 1000% agree 😅 I will continue reading it tho because I love the tension and absolute yearning between Cyrus and Alizeh

I can’t even begin to explain my obsession.

3.75

the way this is definitely a filler book and has so many things wrong with it—namely the fact that NOTHING happens in 400 pages—but somehow i ate it up in under 24 hours... it's no wonder Alizeh literally has two kings at her feet because i, too, am obsessed with her. i was always looking forward to her chapters, not only because of the romance but because she just has such a compelling personality! i love her to death
