The fact that this book was promoted as “the explosive first book in an epic, romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology” without ever disclosing that it is your basic rags-to-riches Cinderella story, shows the marketing team was very good at their job meaning: they knew exactly how to sell this as something NEW and ORIGINAL even though we’ve been fed stories like this a hundred times over. However, for the uninitiated, I would like to give a brief overview of This Woven Kingdom. It was an incredible display of team effort, the team consisting of me, myself, and I. First and foremost, I would like to thank myself and my inner strength that have allowed me to push through, read this book until the end, and not abandon it 20 pages in. *I then get up, make my way toward the microphone, and out of my teensy tiny I-couldn’t-care-less clutch, I pull out my prepared acceptance speech* *I pretend to be shocked over my win and squeeze out a few tears for the cameras while hugging my emotional support dog who is sitting next to me* “And the Oscar for Best Actress in the new exciting drama Managing Not to Throw This Book Repeatedly Against a Wall goes to… Kat!” UPDATE: this book is a finalist in the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction, y'all, this is my 13th reason Tahereh deserves to get her ass ATE for publishing this masterpiece ngl. “speak the truth now or i will slit your throat” is a love language we get this knife to the throat scene that had me screaming into the night sky.
This book reminded me why the forbidden love trope is my FAVORITE. i think i might fetch you the moon if only to spare your tears again.” like AHHHHH The way Kamran is falling HARD for Alizeh… “You have consumed my thoughts since the moment I met you…i feel now, in your presence, entirely strange. omfg like i was NOT disappointed once! our main girl Alizeh? badass to say the least. from the Persian mythology that was woven into it to the lush romance. I was here for every minute of this book. the characters? i would DIE for them! the ending? TAHEREH if you don’t drop book 2 IMMEDIATELY 🔪
it’s been a hot minute since i picked up a fantasy book and after reading this book…i won’t be able to get enough.
this book singlehanded cured my depression. This was 40 chapters of badassey, ecstasy, and euphoria. Tahereh Mafi put her whole taHUSSY into this…
