very informative and pretty eye-opening so far, it's starting to get much more academic-heavy though

only on the first story and it lowkey pulled my heartstrings 😭

this book is brilliant i learned a lot from it, i cant believe classical exegetes directly ignored at-tabari's egalitarian reading for 2:228 in favour of their own misogynistic ones even though they literally cited from him

just finished chapter 4 "neglectful husbands", interesting and eye-opening stuff esp in regards to ibn ashur

i can actually understand the plot now, but the writing seriously needs work

i dont know how to feel about this

what am i reading

why is it so boring now

aww things are better between alice and peter now that we know more about them both

so i was right about professor Grime's, also this just opened my eyes to how cooked non-Muslim academia is, particularly its treatment of women, and the whole seducing + sizing up + women-against-women + western feminism thing. someone had to say it

the plot twist... 💔

enjoying the read so far but its not as academic as people were claiming, its more a fun read and this is the first rf kuang book ive ever read so i did not expect the writing style to be so simple
