this book is so subtle with its racism...like imagine being an author and writing a character that is NOT white and bringing your own prejudices about the character’s ethnicity/heritage into the writing as your describing his culture and whatnot. it’s weird

😢 this is too sad

this book is so interesting so far, also i usually dislike reading 1st person books but the narrator (forgot his name) is a great character

Never knew a doll’s life could be so damn miserable

I impulsively decided to read the manga version since I’ve always been interested in starting the story. I’m enjoying this so much so far! The original seems daunting but I’m sure I’ll begin reading that once I’m dont with the manga :)

probably an unpopular opinion but i hope ali and jamshid fall in love

kaveh is such a cute character i love his personality...

FINALLY

here comes the romance lollll that happened faster than i thought it would

it’s weird how even though the majority of characters are muslim and they practice islam, they drink wine/alcohol?? am i missing something? cuz if you didn’t know, it’s forbidden to drink alcohol in islam lol

it feels so good reading a book about muslim/middle eastern culture cuz i actually know about what i’m reading. there needs to be more books on this theme

b-bro...

i didn’t think inanni would figure it out so quick! she isn’t as dumb as we were led to believe😳

this book is so good omg

randomly picked this up and now i’m so hooked. this author really didn’t bother going easy huh?? plus the writing is AMAZING and i thought mara was gonna be some boring main character but she’s the complete opposite. already shaping up to be a rlly good book

her story is amazing and she’s a great person, but the writing itself makes malala come off as conceited..it leaves me feeling annoyed sometimes..

finally back to reading books! i found this in the basement and i thought “why not read it” so here i am.

the writing is a bit too easy but apparently this is the young readers edition lol,,this will be a quick read plus i’ve always been interested in her story

i should reread jackaby...🤔

“As the music struck up Anastasia began softly humming the folk tune they were playing. Hallie asked her what it was. ‘Oh,’ she replied, ‘it is an old song about a little girl who had lost her doll.’ The lingering notes of that lovely song hummed by the young grand duchess, and the sight of her chocolate-soiled gloves that evening, would stay with Hallie for many years.”

Wow, that was really nice.

The sister’s relationship with Grigory was cute at first but now it’s getting kinda creepy 😬

I’m really enjoying this, and the Romanov family has such an interesting lifestyle. The four sisters are so sweet <3

Sometimes romance always ruins characters for me. It’s a hit or miss and this is totally a miss. I hate when strong willed girls end up going head over heels for guys 😤

Okay. Ew.

NOOOO REN!!!!

NOOOO REN!!!!

Going good, but fuck William Acton. He’s a nasty gremlin 😖

finally going back to this book with plans of finishing it. it’s so amazing, idk why i took a break from it...

Either the characters were born extremely lucky, or it’s just fate.

Also, I think I know what the “forbidden romance” aspect is of the story. Easy to catch on early in the book lol

I’m enjoying this book, but it’s a bit boring to be honest.
