Description

In a kingdom stitched together by magic and tradition, a young woman’s life is upended when she discovers the power—and the cost—of the threads that bind her world. As alliances shift and old loyalties are tested, she must navigate courtly intrigue, dangerous secrets, and the pressure to become the person everyone expects. Blending lyrical storytelling with high-stakes fantasy, this novel explores identity, agency, and the ways love and power can both protect and endanger. With Tahereh Mafi’s signature emotional intensity and vivid, immersive prose, the story invites readers into a richly imagined realm where every choice unravels something—and weaves a new future.

i wanted soooo badly to like this. i just felt annoyed and disappointed by the time i finished it.<br/><br/>every single minister, general, princess, and king was a blundering idiot in the way where none of their decisions aligned with the previous ones they’ve made. their politics were circular talk with no consistency. and i don’t know if that was the point, that they’re all asshats, or that the author neglected the overarching plot so horribly. the princess was completely void of characterization except for her inexplicable desire to play a game where she tries to murder her own son. the only relief was alizeh who had a moral code and goals which she stood by as her character grew in the world.
