I do like that the southern content culture is essentially based off the Ottoman empire, even down to killing the siblings of the "Sultan"
An underappreciated bit of history she looped in that most don't research.
Anyway! Nesryn's story I'm here for. Chaol is still a thorn in my side... I still don't care for him but I'm glad that Irene could put him in his place but it was a pretty obvious enemies to lovers set up.
Nesryn, her story was beautiful. Reconnecting to her culture is a thread that was wonderful. Her finding her home in the culture of the people, her finding her extended family. Loved it. Chef's kiss.
Honestly, I wish the book would have been entirely her perspective. While the desert oasis find was interesting, it wasn't her level of bravery and epiphany. That was exciting and opened up a background that was slowly building but definitely more interlaced with the storyline in general.
If it was only her story, may have given in a 5 star round.
