2 stars for the language and romance, apart from that nothing worth mentioning. I'm disappointed the series went into this direction.

I didn’t like the chapters of Kamran. They were just boring. But I loved the tense between Cyrus and Alizeh.

I really enjoyed These Infinite Threads! This sequel dives even deeper into the rich, lush world Tahereh Mafi built in This Woven Kingdom, and I loved how much more we got to explore—especially when it comes to the Jinn, their magic, and the different kingdoms at play. The writing, as always, is poetic and emotional, sometimes to the point of feeling like you're floating through a dream (or drowning in feelings). It’s definitely one of those books where the prose itself is part of the experience.
Alizeh continues to be a fascinating main character. She's strong, smart, and torn between her heart and the heavy responsibilities that come with her destiny. And Kamran? I felt for him. He’s spiraling a bit in this one, trying to hold onto what he believes in while everything around him shifts. Their separation for most of the book was frustrating—but in a good way. The tension is still there, but it’s more about longing and impossible choices than swoony moments, which I personally liked.
Now, Cyrus. Wow. He’s such a wildcard. I didn’t know whether to scream at him or be intrigued by him—or both at once. He added a whole new layer of tension and unpredictability to the story, which really kept things moving.
The pacing felt a bit slower in parts, especially when the story gets caught up in inner monologues and dreamy reflections, but I never lost interest. The emotional depth, the worldbuilding, and the hints of what’s to come totally made up for it. This book definitely felt like the middle of something bigger, but I’m fully invested. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out in the next one.
