Incredible book! Although this one had a slower start than the previous ones of the series, it picks up and then races on. 
It does feel like only half a book, with so much and yet so little happening. But that might just be wishing for more. 
I am waiting for Cyrus’ redemption. I’m sick of the other characters constantly maligning him. Also Kamran turning into THAT guy that doesn’t take a hint and is so possessive. Upsetting turn but also not unexpected? Mafi really had us falling for him in book 1 and then now revealing his true character. What an ass. 
For the next book I’m hoping for: more Cyrus and Alizeh, Cyrus’ redemption arc, and I unfortunately foresee an enemies to lovers situ with Huda and Kamran (although she could do so much better than that ass).

Enchanting as always, and I can’t wait to read the next one!!
