So I will say this book really wasn’t as good as the second one but it was still good. I HATED Kamran. He became this self absorbed, impetuous, arrogant child. He didn’t love or honestly even care for Alizeh, he just saw her as a competition to be won because he hated Cyrus. I don’t want to give too much, but after this book I am team Cyrus all the way. The unlikely trio was a good add to the book. They added some comic relief which was welcomed. Really good book and I loved the humanity the author gave…

These Infinite Threads by Tahereh Mafi is a feat of technical brilliance. The sequel to This Woven Kingdom is a continuation of the Persian-inspired YA high fantasy book that stole my heart. The book’s magic system and lore are so well thought out. I love the attention to physical detail and lyrical prose. It also helps that somehow Mafi constructs characters that get right to the center of my very being every time. Be forewarned I will be spoiling things from here on out. The book picks up right where the last one left off in the aftereffects of a…

“This Woven Kingdom” alternates between the viewpoints of Alizeh (the long lost heir to a Jinn Kingdom living as a servant) and Kamran (the crown Prince of Ardunia). Both characters lead wildly different lives because of their status in society, which allows the reader to see Ardunia at its best and worst. Alizeh and Kamran’s chance meeting sparks a forbidden attraction that reaches a fever pitch as the novel progresses. Their shared moments were few and far between, but had an addictive quality to them that kept me engaged and eager to keep reading. The knife to the throat passages…

Welcome, welcome to Caraval . . . beware of getting swept too far away. Scarlett wasn’t my favourite YA heroine, but that’s not to say I disliked her or she wasn’t strong in her own ways. She looks for a way to get herself and her sister, Tella, away from their violent and despicable father, she chases after Tella and actively decides to stay at Caraval and search for her, and she does spend most of the book making decisions and doing things towards her goal, so it’s not that she’s passive or boring. It’s just that other characters steal the show…

5 – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The mere sight of her like a fatal strike, and he bore it badly. He could not look at her; he could not look away from her. Her beauty was its own violence, assailing his worn defenses even as chains of pain released him at her approach. She was like a panacea for all that ailed him, a braid of light and fury, the cause and the cure. Cyrus of Nara and I are truly kindred spirits… for I, too, would be perpetually tormented, sexually frustrated and wouldn’t know peace of mind even if it slapped me…
