3.5

Overall a fairly enjoyable read. I definitely enjoyed and had more interest in some of the characters than others. The book is divided into four parts each focusing on a different woman. Overall the transitions are fairly smooth and blend really well building the world and the story. The transition from part one to part two is the most jarring but honestly, even that one isn't that bad. I will say that at times I felt there was a bit of flowery prose and excessive religious reference and poetic analogies that I'm assuming were meant to heighten the drama and really just seemed over the top and too dramatic with their frequency.

Yael and Aziza were my favorites.

A friend lent this to me and its got me hooked. I will be not only purchasing a copy of my own but the rest of the series as well. Intense right from the beginning and containing a host of quite interesting characters this first volume has left me itching to dive even deeper. Especially with the cliffhanger-ish (and hilarious inn my opinion) end.

Honestly, the first third of the book was about a 3/5 and the rest was a 1/5 so my rating of 2/5 is my compromise.
