This took me much longer to read than I thought, but I have the flu to blame for that. I literally went a week without reading. 

Anyway, this is arguably the best book I have ever read. The prose in this book was unlike any other. Like, damn, since when were we so formal. 

Love, love, love Alizeh. She was such an amazing main character and, I can’t lie, her plan of staying low as a snoda servant is smart because who is going to think a servant can take down five grown men trying to ambush her?????? I definitely didn’t. Also, I just know she’s so fine.
When Kamran broke into her room and she held a blade to his neck, wearing nothing but a corset 🫣.


BRO, KAMRAN. I NEED ME A MAN LIKE HIM. I need me a man that’ll fetch me the moon because he hates to see me cry 😪. Never has a character radiated BDE like Kamran does. I had to take breaks when reading the scenes between him and Alizeh because they would literally make me blush so much. It’s so bad 

THE ENDING?????? Kamran please save my girl Alizeh from the shackles of Cyrus. I can’t believe he just appeared out of nowhere and basically kidnapped her so they could get married. KAMRAN HELP.
 

I don’t think I can wait until February next year for the second book. Tahereh Mafi can’t just end the book like that and expect me to be okay??????? I NEED ANSWERS.
