Phew I am on a roll baby. Anyways this was so great!!! I mean sure Soraya did a few things that might be stupid in hindsight but I mean she was very sheltered throughout her life so I understand. The subtle enemies to lovers with Parvaneh was simply <3<3. Also the way Azad was so manipulate even I was bamboozled. But maybe that’s the bloodlust talking idk Finally I have to say that I loved the fact that Soraya got her powers back towards the end. Just when I was thinking Oh her powers sure weren’t developed the author was like BAM Honestly I’m glad I finally got around to reading this. Very much worth it.
