These Infinite Threads by Tahereh Mafi

4.0

---

”i look at you and i can’t breathe. in my mind, you are already mine.”

cyrus of nara you’ve charmed me with your electric miley cyrus blue eyes your sleepiness and your pathetic yearning

i think this was more vibes than plot advancement, but honestly i can’t even complain because i feel like it was done well! tahereh mafi’s writing is so beautiful and lyrical in these books, and dare i say that (so far) i think the love triangle is being handled well… in a shocking twist of fate i don’t hate any of the characters involved; cyrus and kamran are equally compelling to me, both as love interests and as individual characters (right now, the latter applies more to kamran than it does to cyrus because of the lack of pov chapters but i do think there’s a Lot of potential. also everytime he opened his mouth i had to pause the audiobook to pterodactyl giggle)

my favourite part of twk1 was alizeh and that remains true for this book too. she’s as kind as she is fierce, she doesn’t take shit from anyone — commoner or king alike — and i understand kamran & cyrus so deeply bc if i knew her personally i think she’d consume my every waking thought as well. i just love her SO MUCH she may be in my top 3 favorite YA fantasy characters.

thank u random twitter oomf for this rec 4 stars ♡
