The Man or the Monster by Aamna Qureshi

3.0

2.5✨ rounded up

after really enjoying the first book in this series i was more than a little disappointed by this sequel

the first book was wonderfully paced, full of interesting court intrigue and forbidden romance - most, if not all of this is missing here, we have anticlimactic plots points, storylines opened and resolved in a few chapters or even pages, and an open-ended storyline which isn’t even really open or elaborated upon ?

i really enjoyed durkhanai’s character development in the series, but the poor pacing and ending did a disservice to her growth
