The story really brought it all in, because if not for the fun “Will we see our hero(es?) succeed” aspect of the book I would not have been able to get past the first 10 chapters.
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Suicide attempt, and Classism
Minor: Child abuse and Violence

The narration was good, but I wish they would’ve cast a male voice actor for Kamran. I just couldn’t get the full effect with the deep, slow voice of a woman.
I love second-half Alizeh who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. When she finally loses her temper, we get a glimpse of who this character was meant to be.
Kamran is a little whiny, but falls head-over-heels for Alizeh in the silliest way. He just can’t seem to keep his eyes off of her, which I think is adorable.
Overall, a solid 4⭐️ book. I’ll will definitely be continuing with the series.

I've read several series that included Jinns but always from a villain perspective. This book is the singular exception. The tie-in with other aspects of Persian mythology was fascinating and I cannot wait to continue reading more of this series!
