Loved and adored the world, the characters and the writing!!
I just couldn't find the love between Nasir and Zafira very convincing and thought that the foreign terms could've been used more effectively. Can't wait to read the second book!!
So different from what I was expecting. Beautifully written.
It starts a bit slow and the narrative is hard to get into but then it draws you in with the setting that's almost alive and the way we always read the characters' thoughts.
It is almost impossible to not feel sympathy for <u>Bertha</u> Antoinette as today's readers.
