Martyr! Is a book I never want to finish! I'm starting to slow down in an attempt to savor it. A sort of bad habit I have with my favorites. I love Akbar's writing and his expression. I love the ways in which he expands on Cyrus's life through the tales of those surrounding Cyrus. A very wholesome book, I adore <3

I’m loving this book. Kaveh Akbar is an astounding writer. His writing is comparable to poetry and music; saturated in raw and intense human emotion. I’m reminded of the power and beauty of language. Cyrus in an incredibly compelling character with a muted flame that burns with potential. I’m excited to see where this book goes and so happy to have found it.
