Omg omg omg OH MY FUCKING GODDDDD I LOVE THESE BOOKS ARGHHHH

Why are these issues so GODAMNED SHORTTTTTTT

Bruhhhh next volume will probably be released in August 2022!!!!! I've gotta wait a WHOLE ASSSSSSS YEARRRRRR
Edit:
Wait a sec... I'm in 2022. Damn I'm still not used to it. So yeah around half a year to wait. I'm so dumb.

THIS BOOK. THIS MASTERPIECE HAD ME NOT WANTING TO FINISH IT FOR A WHOLE MONTH.
I struggled to turn the last five pages because as though latched onto the story i didn't want it to end (for the second time. Yes. this is a reread .)
SA Chakraborty's writing is so rich and detailed that i couldn't help but be transported to Daevabad. The places, the smells, the people, i could sense, and grasp them all at the tip of my fingers. I'm south asian and the beautiful depiction of arabo-persian culture is so on point i found myself woven into the story itself.
The representation was flawless; the characters insanely lifelike; the setting jaw-dropping; and the overall story: profound, mesmerising, and unpredictable.
*adds second book to shopping basket and buys despite being an utterly broke student*

I loved this so much!!! i should probably rate this more than 5 stars but this damned app won't let le do it. So there you go 5 solid stars ✨.
This book, despite being written in verse, was complex and story-like. I don't know how to describe the experience that this book gave me. It felt as though i was threaded into the narrative itself, as though the main character was taking my hand and guiding me through it one page at a time. I saw, i felt, I smelled, i touched everything. The chapters were too short and the book not long enough. I would definitely recommend, but more precisely to south Asian middle schoolers that feel alienated by their dual cultures, and odd features; as Rajani Larocca would say... "A dark face in a sea of white," idk if that quote is accurate or not, i apologise in advance it is. But i do remember a line along that line that marked me when i first started the book.

I just can't bring myself to END this book! i know this may sound like madness, but hear me out: I'm not gonna finish this book. I have less than 50 pages left to read and yet i still don't want it to end. I just don't feel like i could withstand the pain and grief i'd be experiencing if i knew how journey ended. I know this sounds a bit torturous on my part, but i really don't WANT to end the book damn it. Like it's been a WHOLE month and i still refuse to pick it up and read a page. I've tried. I 've tried a thousand times and still can't bring myself to read and comprehend the words. UGHHHHHHHH, I really don't want to lose my favourite characters of all time. I've never experienced such an emotional attachment before!!!
anyways i'm CERTAIN i'll reread it soon so yeah let's see if i'll be brave enough to finish the trilogy once and for all then.

I really liked this!!! it's slice of life and pretty much chill. Though there is mention of depression and social anxiety i feel like it was nicely incorporated to the story and i truly felt for each and every character. I might keep on reading this series if i ever feel stressed.
