I cannot wait for more.’ – Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves Mafi's diamond-bright lyrical voice weaves a tale that is gilded in magic, laced with subterfuge, adorned with the brocade of a tortuous romance, and richly embroidered with Persian mythology. ‘This story is so magical and transportive that I fully expected the book would know the moment I'd finished – within hours, no less – and promptly unravel into a pile of jewels and silks in my hands. “In a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizeh’s own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.”-Cassandra Clare, 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours ‘Gut-wrenchingly beautiful.’ – Kirkus Reviews Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-nominated author, Tahereh Mafi. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom – and the world. The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. Some twists and turns, plus a cliffhanger is all you need to hope book 2 comes soon.To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight. This is a story with captivating characters, and not just its protagonists. If this sounds intriguing, then let's forest some 'mineral' magic to give Alizeh-the hidden Jinn royal-the strength and wisdom she'll need to navigate her uncertain world, in the literal physical sense and also the web of her emotions. However, the more you research, the more the mythological elements make sense and imbue the story with depth and character. There are some elements that at first sight don't seem to match.

If you're not too familiar with what Persian mythology can reach in terms of fantasy, beasts, and tales, I highly recommend you dig into it a little bit to understand better this book. Have any of you already read the book? I'm curious to know your opinion :)

I recently read This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi.
