3.5⭐️

So there’s the thing. There are a lot of things that I disliked about this book, possibly more that I disliked than there are things that I liked. To name a few: Kamran is an asshole who can’t seem to go more than three sentences without insulting Huda’s weight. The side characters sound like bumbling idiots every time they speak. The fact that two men are making the decision to pass around Alizeh like cattle while she’s unconscious is not once challenged, even by Alizeh herself. There was virtually no world building in terms of the magic system or the entire Jinn community. The main character plus both love interests are royalty in charge of entire kingdoms, and yet there was very little working going on from any of them. It was a lot of telling us about all these dramatic things going on, but it felt like mostly gossip rather than actual action.

However, I literally couldn’t put it down. Every moment where I wasn’t able to read this, I was thinking about it. I listened to the last chapter like 3 times just because I didn’t want it to be over yet. I’ll be very impatiently waiting for news of book four, even though up until the last 15% or so I wasn’t even sure if I would want to continue the series after this one. But that ending??? I need the next book asap!!
