This made me really want to pick this book up.
Spot on review. I agree with every thing you said. Such a letdown.
Hahaha. I actually did like this book, but I had some of the same issues as you.... But I thought the second book was much better. Sometimes all the hype around books make you expect more and you are left with...."That's it?" lol
Completely agree. I had to force myself to finish this
I just downloaded this from my library. :/ Thanks for your thoughtful review.
This has been a book I've been on the fence about for so long I have no idea if I should read it or not. There is something about it that keeps drawing me in, but something that at that same time is telling me "oh hell no"
I really liked this book but I have to agree with the things you said. I didn't understand how she could suddenly love Khalid when he killed her best friend. Also she started loving him before she found out why he was killing his brides.
I really didn't like this book either, and I thought I would too. Oh well. :/
I had the same feelings as you regarding this book: thought I would love it but major disappointment. And I agree that the writing is forced.
Oh, also... the sequel is more of the same. it doesn't get better. Everything is so conveniently solved that I wonder what was the conflict even?
Love the review. Totally agree on all points. I didn't have a problem with the foreign language, but then I am originally from Indian descent and married to an Arab! So that's the only reason I was familiar with it.
This book was a major letdown especially when going in with a preconceived notion that you will love it.
yes! I felt the same way. I never finished it. I couldn't get into it and also found it forces.
I agree with what you say, but I really enjoyed this book because the writing works for me. I hope you will enjoyed the sequel more!
I hated this book so much! I never got the hype!
The dude was horrible, it was boring and it was just ???
This review should be at the top, it's so accurate bless
Yes! Give me the Rajput's backstory! It's the only interesting thing!
You spoke my heart. I hate when characters fall in love (not sort-of like, not a smidge of lust but full-on-love) without anything of significance happening first. I don't understand when Khalid fell in love (was it while being read a bed time story by Shazi?) and I am waiting for Tariq's great love to be explained (he is willing to wage a war for her). Even Jalal and Despina's love is a no-go for me.
Definitely agree. I couldn't even finish the book.
YES, SO ACCURATE! It had so much potential to be a good book but it just completely disappointed me... 100% agree with everything
Tbh I'm glad someone else was bothered by everyone's eyes flashing every two seconds lol
OMG ty the metaphors were so forced too, oftentimes. like, if you tried to follow the logic of some of the flowery language and metaphors, half of them didn't even make sense...
Oh my gosh, I zoned out every single time and have no idea what I have been reading actually. Nearly finished so I will skim read and call it a day.
Read three pages, already side-eying the writing, this review has confirmed all my fears, returning it to the library without even logging it as 'currently reading'. Thanks for the great review, I'm sure you've saved me from many hours of annoyance.

The flashing eye comment made me laugh out loud
