Summary

To all the world， Alizeh is a disposable servant， not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight。

The crown prince， Kamran， has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king。 But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes， the girl he can’t put out of his mind， would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world。

Clashing empires， forbidden romance， and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic， romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology。

Absolutely fantastic！！ It's been a while since I've devoured a book as fast as this one and I cant wait for the next one！ The writing is seriously gorgeous and I was immediately hooked by the second chapter。 I usually take my time to get through a book， putting it down for a while then coming back， but this book would not leave my hands。 My mind。 My dreams。 I was enchanted！ My heart was moved。 My brain was thinking。 I loved every second of it！！ Absolutely fantastic！！ It's been a while since I've devoured a book as fast as this one and I cant wait for the next one！ The writing is seriously gorgeous and I was immediately hooked by the second chapter。 I usually take my time to get through a book， putting it down for a while then coming back， but this book would not leave my hands。 My mind。 My dreams。 I was enchanted！ My heart was moved。 My brain was thinking。 I loved every second of it！！ 。。。more

I loved the character development and the world。 Really engaging writing。 I wish the book had more resolution。 It’s fine to leave some things hanging to nod to the next book， but this was a lot。 I’d recommend reading closer to 2023 and the release of the second book。

Kayla Anderson ，

Really liked this fantasy from a new （to me） author。 There was aspects of mythology， and magic， and some fun surprises that kept me interested。 Definitely a good read。

2。3 starsI was going to mention how I hated how this book is marketed as an enemies-to-lovers when in reality， it's more of a boring love at first sight kinda deal。。。 until we met MY MAN at the very end。 So 1。8/5 stars for the beginning and 2。8 for the last few chapters just for that one character。Longer review coming shortly 2。3 starsI was going to mention how I hated how this book is marketed as an enemies-to-lovers when in reality， it's more of a boring love at first sight kinda deal。。。 until we met MY MAN at the very end。 So 1。8/5 stars for the beginning and 2。8 for the last few chapters just for that one character。Longer review coming shortly 。。。more

The ultimate forbidden romance， very pacy and easy to read。 It could have been longer and incorporated whatever will be in the next book so bulk it out。

Elizabeth （Your Ordinary Bookworm） ，

I think some of the flow-y writing could’ve been cut for more plot and characterization。 It was a bit slow and not much happens until later in the book。 I’m really excited to see Alizeh and her jinn powers in the next book however， what little we saw was awesome and I want more。 I think there will be more action in book 2 based on how this one ended - warning - in a cliffhanger！

this took me forever to finish

SO GOOD OMG！！Amazing writing， as always with Tahereh Mafi。 And I loved seeing it at work in a fantasy setting。And what a fantasy setting！！！ Simply perfect， this whole book was perfect。 Amazing characters， gripping plot and the right amount of mystery and plot twists。YES TO THAT！

Alizeh is a servant trying to survive - she sews to make a living， in addition to working as a household servant。 She's also a Jinn - in a world where Jinn are discriminated against under the pretext of equality。One day she attracts the attention of the prince， who is sure that she's a spy from a rival human kingdom。 The prince's grandfather has （view spoiler）[vowed to kill her because of a prophecy。 The prince objects because。。。 well。。。 he thinks she's harmless and there's a mix of pity there。 Alizeh is a servant trying to survive - she sews to make a living， in addition to working as a household servant。 She's also a Jinn - in a world where Jinn are discriminated against under the pretext of equality。One day she attracts the attention of the prince， who is sure that she's a spy from a rival human kingdom。 The prince's grandfather has （view spoiler）[vowed to kill her because of a prophecy。 The prince objects because。。。 well。。。 he thinks she's harmless and there's a mix of pity there。 Also， romance reasons。We end with finding out that Alizeh was actually born to be queen （she has ice in her veins - so she's the next Jinn queen - and she's kidnapped by the rival kingdom's king （Cyrus） to become his queen。 This is apparently part of the devil's whim。 （hide spoiler）]I'm not very keen on this because the characters seem to react rather than act。 I wasn't sold on the romance either。 2/5 stars 。。。more

First off， the art at the start of each chapter is lovely。 I loved the chapter numbers written in Persian。 Mafi's writing was lyrical， the language flowed and I liked the way she described the surroundings， everything just sounded so beautiful。 The causal interactions of the people in the surrounding environment was nice too。 I was pleasantly surprised by the mention of haleem （yum）。 Alizeh is smart， resourceful and so compassionate。 She's been through a lot of pain but she doesn't let it bog he First off， the art at the start of each chapter is lovely。 I loved the chapter numbers written in Persian。 Mafi's writing was lyrical， the language flowed and I liked the way she described the surroundings， everything just sounded so beautiful。 The causal interactions of the people in the surrounding environment was nice too。 I was pleasantly surprised by the mention of haleem （yum）。 Alizeh is smart， resourceful and so compassionate。 She's been through a lot of pain but she doesn't let it bog her down。 She just wants some peace。 Kamran is quite the dramatic Prince which is pretty funny。 He's also amost always angry which just makes him more dramatic。 Alizeh and Kamran's love story was too fast， it felt like Kamran was suspecting her one second and the next he was madly in love with her。 The only time I felt anything for them was at this line， "In all these years， he'd been the only one。" but even that was just a flicker of emotion。 In terms of the plot， I don't feel like much happened。 At first， the chapter endings had me intrigued but then I started losing interest and I just wanted to finish the book to get it over with。 It only picked up in the last 50 pages of the book and I liked the reveal of the riddle。 Hazan and Kamran have some funny interactions and I was more interested in Hazan's backstory。 Omid and Alizeh also had some nice interactions。 I'm not too entirely sure how I feel about Deen。Overall， I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to this book but I didn't really end up enjoy it。 It would probably be a 2。5 but I bumped it up to a 3 because of the last 50 pages and the mention of haleem。 Some quotes I liked:"embroidering the tapestry of her life with ominous forebodings， in what seemed a promise of destruction she could not outmaneuver。"“Begging your pardon， sire， but I didn’t know you were acquainted with all the servants in the royal city。”"When a person is in tremendous pain， sir， is not its remedy worth everything？ Valued above all else？”"Perhaps you and I are the same age， aunt， for I fear I may be falling apart， too。”“You need not worry，” Hazan said。 “She’s gone。”“Gone？” The prince frowned。 “But— Were not we the ones who were meant to leave the dressing room？ Was she not meant to stay here to finish the work she’d started？” 。。。more

actual rating: 3。5/5a bit too slow paced for me， I felt like not much happened for the majority of the book :/ did enjoy the romance - it was very cute - and the last few chapters were interesting but overall this didn’t live up to my expectations :（

I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3/4 of this novel。 I loved all of the characters， the setting was absolutely beautiful， and the plot was increasingly entertaining as the book continued。 Personally， didn’t like the ending。 It feels as if once we got to the end of the book a completely different author was writing it。 Our main protagonist COMPLETELY changed。 Her speech and personality just seemed too different。 She was almost too lively， which sounds like a great thing for our character， but the ch I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3/4 of this novel。 I loved all of the characters， the setting was absolutely beautiful， and the plot was increasingly entertaining as the book continued。 Personally， didn’t like the ending。 It feels as if once we got to the end of the book a completely different author was writing it。 Our main protagonist COMPLETELY changed。 Her speech and personality just seemed too different。 She was almost too lively， which sounds like a great thing for our character， but the change came out of nowhere。 The relationship between Kamran and Alizeh was really cute from beginning to roughly 3/4ths the way through was basically perfect， but everything that happened at the very end just seemed a tad bit ridiculous。 The twist was very interesting， I just think it was poorly executed。 The book is already quite long， maybe too long I would argue， but why not give a couple more chapters to really make the end just as fluently written as the rest of the novel？ 3/5 stars because the writing， for the most part， was beautiful。 I loved Alizeh’s character and the relationship between her and Omid。 All in all， it was a decent read。 。。。more

Emily Carew ，

3。5 This book felt all too short and ended on a cliffhanger that has me invested in reading the next one （even though it’s gonna be a while before it’s released）。 It’s giving shatter me flashbacks。I gave it a 3。5 not even because this book is necessarily better than the average book I read， but the possibility it leaves at the end for the next book has me excited。
