This book was amazing! From the get go we have political intrigue, politicking, hesitant alliances being made, characters going through huge levels of growth and maturing, and slowly this massive book develops with the interweaving threads of three storylines from Ali, Nahri and Dara’s POV. I love how the story developed, I could not predict what was going to happen at all which I loved, truly a unique plot and storyline! Nahri grows throughout this book and comes into her role as Banu Nahida, trying her best to stick it out under Ghassan’s rule. And Ali goes through so much growth, I really loved seeing him mature and grow as a character, and learning so much more about him. I found myself frequently rooting for him, and appreciating all the ways in which he was trying to the right thing, even if no one else wanted to support in. As always, some great antagonists, one of which is constantly a grey area in the novel and defo shed a tear for them. 

Honestly - go read this series, it’s one of the best I’ve read in years.
