 Y'ALL THIS BOOK IS PERFECT OKAY 😭 IT'S EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AND MORE EVER SINCE I READ THE FIRST NOVELLA, A DEAD DJINN IN CAIRO.

PLOT WAS INTRICATE, AN ABOLUTE PAGE TURNER. THE CHARACTERS WERE CHARMING AND COMPELLING, YOU'LL BE ROOTING FOR THEM SOON. SAPPHIC ROMANCE WAS SO GOOD I THINK I SWOONED TOO MANY TIMES. WORLD-BUILDING WAS JUST AMAZING, I MEAN THE MYTHOLOGY AND THE LORE, AS WELL AS THE CULTURE WAS JUST SO RICH. HUMOR WAS ON POINT, FROM START TO FINISH. IT ALSO HIGHLIGHTED ISSUES LIKE MISOGYNY, RACISM, COLONIZATION. I SWEAR, THIS IS EVERYTHING. I'M SO IN LOVE WITH IT.

SO FAR, THIS BOOK IS THE BEST THING I READ THIS YEAR. *SCREAMS*

ALSO I AM SO SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.

E-arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.

Full review on my blog soon!
