This book had so much potential; the world building was great, the plot was great, and the romance was pretty well written. But. The characters just didn't appeal to me. Despite all the good things about this book, I don't care enough about the characters to bother reading the next one. There was one scene where Safiya reflects on all her mistakes, and I was excited to see some development, but the in the end she decides she's perfect and doesn't need to change, like, umm what??? So anyway, it was an ok book and I liked the author's writing style, but the characters fell flat. You decide if it's worth the read.
