I really wanted to adore this book. I overall was interested in the characters and the world building. But I just did not feel super connected to the characters. The plot was super lush but at moments it became hard to follow. I really did like the pacing in the chapters but thought the pace of the book overall was not as strong as I wanted. I really was excited about the world building and love the author take not he world but the book did not wow me. I will still check out book 2, and prob re-read the book at some point. ( )

unfortunately, this story couldn't keep my interest. it was too dry for me. the sultan felt like a cartoon villain. I understand the grief from his wife and all, but he felt hammy from what I read. I will say I was pleasantly surprised to see a spark of humanness in him before he went into the usual diatribe 'the love you have for others is what makes you weak hahahahah'
zafira was kind of just there, but I understood her motivation for magic. if something was just beyond your fingertips, wouldn't you look for it too? ( )
