All This Twisted Glory

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 (This review will contain #spoilers) Ugh, what a bummer! I truly and deeply love this series, but my biggest complaint is that hardly anything happens! We’re halfway through the series, yeah? Shouldn’t we get a bit more plot than what we’ve been given thus far? Now, with that out of the way, can we talk about how amazing this series is! I adore every character, even Kamran. He’s not on my favorite list anymore because sir, can we stop acting like a little brat, but I truly think he can have his redemption. Iblees is the villain; Kamran is just an inexperienced, naive kid. Huda, Omid, and Deen are so fricken cute, I love the ragtag gang that pledged their allegiance to Alizeh. The humor they bring is so perfectly executed, it never feels contrived or out of character. Hazan forever has my heart though, what a brilliant and sweet character! Please please please keep him safe, Tahereh! After These Infinite Threads (do not abbreviate), I truthfully wanted way more Cyrus and Alizeh. What we got was so cute, don’t get my wrong (infinite roses, come on?! My heart), but it was no where near enough. And I’m a little bothered by the minor miscommunication where Cyrus believes Alizeh is in romantic kahoots with Kamran - NO! Can we give this man a crumb of happiness that’s not in his dreams? Though I do appreciate what little we learned of his past. He’s been going through it since age 3, I just want him to find peace! Otherwise, I honestly don’t have much to say. Not much happened plot-wise because Alizeh was shot into a coma, and the peanut gallery was busy doing absolutely nothing substantial (except you Hazan *blows kiss*). I’m so so eager for the next book, this series has such a beautiful energy about it where I’m not even mad at the slow plot. Mafi can throw anything my way in the TWK series and I’m sure I’ll eat it up (and hopefully I won’t eat my words)."

"So far, this series has gone great, and we learned much more about King Cyrus and Alize’s as a whole. Can’t wait for the next one to come out, and I hope it is as good as this one was!"

"This series is actually quite torturous. I’m both loving the story and completely hating the cliffhangers."

"I enjoyed this whole series, as in a world obsessed with fairies and dragons, this category of fantasy stood out. It's more of a Persian influence (yes there's still dragons lol) so it was a refreshing new look into a different corner of fantasy writing. I'll admit the first book was hard to read because the author weirdly seemed to want to use every huge rarely-used dictionary word out there, and it was honestly annoying. The second book was much better writing, and this third book was very easy to read.<br/><br/>A lot of fantasy books I've read with female main characters, the character makes stupid rash choices for the simple fact they're "a strong independent woman who don't need no man" which greatly annoys me. The main character in this book was refreshing in that she was very real with real mistakes or incorrect assumptions, but she didn't make a total idiot out of herself to try and prove a point."
