Tahereh hides and weaves a lot of clues in the beginning that are fun to go back and look at as you get to the end.Īlizeh's character is a role model of compassion, strength, patience, humility, courage.she's bad-ass! Kamran at first glance, is selfish, spoiled and yet as you learn about his past you begin to forgive him. The visuals in this book are stunning, I imagine it would be a beautiful movie! The magic and worlds are elegant and special.

She is becoming one of my favorite authors. Her ability to tell a backstory and build each character while keeping you enthralled is unmatched. Smooth and sparkly as the sun hits it! Chapters are told from Kamran's POV and Alizeh's POV. Tahereh Mafi's style of writing is like calm water on a sunny day. This strange servant girl turns out to be the very one prophesied to bring death to the King and unravel the world he knows. Kamran, the crowned prince has a brief encounter with her and becomes mesmerized by her countenance and finds her intriguing. She is a silent force that remains in hiding until the time is right. Summary: Alizeh is a servant girl with hidden secrets and an identity that if discovered will cost her, her life afterall, it cost her parents lives. According to GoodReads: One of the great benefits of the fantasy novel is that the setting can be, quite literally. I immediately googled her and found her other works. Tahereh Mafi became a 'must buy' author for me when I devoured the Shatter Me Series on Audiobook.

Thank goodness the sequel comes out in a couple weeks! What a cliffhanger.
