This Woven Kingdom

This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi is a high fantasy novel that immerses you into mythology and political intrigue!
Alizeh is a Jinn living in a world where they are considered disposable citizens and where she can only hope to continue to survive as a servant in a noble house. Kamran is a young prince who cannot keep Alizeh off his mind after a chance encounter even to the possible determent to his kingdom!
This is a YA fantasy with a touch of romance. It was definitely a slow burn but had a lot of good tension building and surprises! I was thoroughly surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this. It did take me a little while to get into but once I did I could not put it down.
I loved all the intricacies of the court and the prophecy. How Alizeh and Kamran kept getting pulled together. Donβt even get me started on the ending! SHOOK! I absolutely will be continuing this series. It was really well written and very imaginative! I need to give her other books a read!
Recommend this to those who like YA fantasy, slow burn romance, political intrigue, and a bad ass female lead who does what she can to survive!
