Beautiful fantasy world based on ancient Persia. Story feels like a classic fairytale in the format of a novel, almost Romantic in style. Good character development from the main character, satisfying ending.

I thought this was interesting, and I really liked the love triangle. I can't believe I spent my young adult years reading about stupid boys when I could have read about awesome women. More women with powers pleaseeee.

it took me longer then usual to read this book but that’s due to exam season (ew) but yesterday i had a break from revision and i just couldn’t put this book down. i read most of it then and oh my god. it was amazing. the constant plot twists, characters introduced, the settings and places you get to explore is just amazing. yet another reason why fantasy books are my fav! <3 
i loved azad and then when he just changed into her literal like worst nightmare since childhood… bro omg it was crazy! and when her mum told her the reason why she was cursed in the first place?! we also can’t forget the fact she basically ends up with parvaneh!! so many plot twists i loved it

A sleeping beauty retelling! With Persian influence?! Wow I really enjoyed this! I love how the romance was subtle but had a nice feel to it and that the parent wasn’t entirely useless and that a man wasn’t the one to step through and save the day.
