A review by suvata
The Last Illusion by Porochista Khakpour

5.0

A post-911 novel based on a Persian myth.

I really need to ignore the “average rating” number on Goodreads. I like to pick my next read based on many different sorts of my TBR list (currently 214 books). A few days ago, I decided to pick the book with the lowest average rating (3.40) which was The Last Illusion. Needless to say, it was a 5-star book in my opinion. This has happened to me more than once. Apparently, my taste in literature is beyond the norm. 🤓

Zal is a character I will never forget.
