wildflowerleahg's review against another edition
3.0
I’m just saying Peeta Mellark would answer all your questions ESPECIALLY WHAT IS HIS FAVORITE COLOR.
This book was really just two men screaming at a traumatized girl to marry them, and being upset when she rejects them.
As a plot girlie, a book being just vibes no thoughts is sometimes but I just felt like we were having the same two conversations over and over and over… the first book set up this exciting world and we explored NONE OF IT other than the Bella swan flower field.
What saved me was the writing. The story itself, pretty good. I’m still wanting to finish this series but overall this suffers from classic middle book syndrome.

She’d simply stood tall, and his world had collapsed.
Once again, Tahereh Mafi has managed to create a vivid, beautiful picture with the most elegant, lyrical prose. The entire book takes place in a single day, but the way that she writes, you find yourself constantly forgetting that so little time is passing, and that so little time has passed since the end of This Woven Kingdom.
I’m already waiting with bated breath, on pins & needles for the release of All This Twisted Glory in February
Moderate: Body horror, Blood, Kidnapping, and Murder
Minor: Confinement

Tahereh Mafi just does it for me every time. I don’t think I can wait until next year for the final book.
ALIZEHCYRUS ENDGAME IDC. At first, I was like “Nooo, I hate Cyrus. Give me Kamran, I love Kamran” but then, after finishing, I was like “Wait…who’s Kamran???” (Still love him though). I do like Alizeh and Cyrus better together because I felt like they had more of a connection. Kamran, I felt, only wanted to be with her because she’d make a good queen, but Cyrus wants to be with her because she’s her. If that makes sense. I’ve actually never seen a man on his knees for a woman like this in my life, and I am absolutely living for it.

Tahereh Mafi always seems to make me fall for murders… It’s really bad… I also don’t know how she’s made me fall for a blond and now and ginger man. It’s like her specialty.
This is by far the best sequel I have ever read. Usually, sequels don’t live up to my expectations, but this one exceeded them.
