Im enjoying this so far, its been on my TBR for years.
Im not totally entrenched in the main characters, their dynamic doesn't really make sense nor does the decisions the male MC is making, but we'll see where it goes.
Despina is my favourite so far - she's got the most personality out of anyone

Nah Khalid kinda opp he’s so PMO SHAZI DESRVES better she needs to be a single baddie forever

“And I will punish him for it”
Why are we lying to ourselves queen we’ve had like ten opportunities to kill him stop acting like you ain’t down bad crying at the gym everything comes back teenage petulance what if I can’t have it I might just die it would make no difference?

SHAZI WE DO NOT KISS AT LESS THAN 50% YOU MET BRO LIKE A MONTH AGO—well actually to be married to someone that’s pretty…that’s pretty late BUT LOW KEY HE KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND (not really bro has a curse on him im pretty sure like he has to kill a bride or his whole kingdom will be slaughtered prob something his daddy did idk)

Not the FMC being the one with the bad mouth 😭😭😭🙏🙏this is usually MMC behavior or side character but nah SHAZI is the FMC, the comedic relief, the inspiration, the baddie, the rational one, and the carrier all in one. I would read a book with just Shazi’s internal monologue.

“I have no interest in tiny cucumbers”

SHAZI WHAT THE FRICK IS WRONG WITH YOU I MEAN ILYSM FOR SAYING THAT TO A HARASSER BUT TS WILD IN FRONT OF KHALID TOO WHAT 😭🙏🙏🙏 I think I like SHAZI the most—not the plot or romance. No SHAZI is carrying this book fr fr

“It’s obscene. He deserves to be flogged”
‘Says the king who murders a bride every morning’
SHAZI WHAT THE FRICK THANK GOSH YOU KEPT THAT AN INSIDE THOUGHT LMAOOOO YOUR INTERNAL MONOLOGUE SO UNHINGED IT CATCHES OFF GUARD HOT DANG SHAZI OK

this is supposed to be a serious book but the pacing is so bad (low key don’t care) it’s just turning into a delightful little experience of chaotic characters IM LIKE LAUGHING SO HARD THIS IS TAKING ME OUTTTTT
We have her two besties racing across the fricking desert to rescue her and she’s just chilling with her bestie,s killer (I think she’s catching to the fact that it’s not his fault)

I’m crine why does nobody gaf in this book 😭🙏🙏she’s like ehhhh he low key had unspeakable trauma I suppose that don’t matter I’m still gonna unalive him and he literally does not care like HE KILLED YOUR BESTIE THIS AINT PASSIVE 😭🙏🙏😭✌️

“I may have a serious problem”
Honey I love you so much already but you are so deep fried cooked no shiz 😭🙏✌️

“ and I would argue that the prettiest flowers are the ones that seem a little imperfect.”

“The only thing to consider when it comes to Khalid Ibn al-Rashid is how many times I wish he could die my hands. And how unfortunate it is that the answer is only once.”

“… I could see her during a cobra to strike swearing her venom could kill first… and she would win.”
