really liked the last third, but the beginning felt a bit too much like acotar to me, or like a bit too cliche? idk, but I liked that the author included a note on Persian mythology in the end, that was pretty interesting

Beautiful fantasy world based on ancient Persia. Story feels like a classic fairytale in the format of a novel, almost Romantic in style. Good character development from the main character, satisfying ending.

Phew I am on a roll baby. Anyways this was so great!!! I mean sure Soraya did a few things that might be stupid in hindsight but I mean she was very sheltered throughout her life so I understand. 

The subtle enemies to lovers with Parvaneh was simply <3<3.

Also

the way Azad was so manipulate even I was bamboozled. But maybe that’s the bloodlust talking idk

Finally I have to say that I loved

the fact that Soraya got her powers back towards the end. Just when I was thinking Oh her powers sure weren’t developed the author was like BAM

Honestly I’m glad I finally got around to reading this. Very much worth it.
