Samar El’s Reviews > All This Twisted Glory > Status Update

Alizeh wakes up from her four week slumber and decides to face a mob of people, head on, no plan and fully knowing some of them want her dead. Then she’s attacked and she didn’t even talk to the crowd of people.

I don’t know how I can defend a character like this. You JUST woke up, talk to Hazan first! Talk to Cyrus before you do what you did.

I complained that this book did not have any breaks and we finally got one. Alizeh was asleep for 4 weeks?

During this time everyone had assimilated into Tulan and the politics are looking good for both kingdoms. We’ve got Zahhak in Ardunia to deal with.

This simple time skip really helped me get back into it! I still don’t know how this book is going to wrap up this story though. Hopefully not predictable.

Cyrus may be exhausted but no one is as drained as me trying to get through this book. All I’m doing is complaining but I seriously can’t imagine this book getting any better.

Not even Omid or Miss Huda can save this book now. I think I hate everyone.

For the love of everything, LET THERE BE ONE NIGHT OF REST TO RESET EVERYTHING. There’s no break or pause!! I’m so tired.

These chapters are 90% recap and 9% random stuff. Oh, and that 1%? That’s the plot somehow moving through it.

I really wish I cared about anyone of these characters. Miss Huda and Omid are the only two I like being on the page. They feel like siblings who speak their mind and give me a sense of energy in this very bland book.

Woah massive plot twist, Cyrus’ father is alive. Not only that, but Cyrus took this deal with the devil FROM his father. Cyrus and Kamran are kinda the same in this sense, inheriting things from their family.

Alizeh is freezing Anna style? Also, I suspect the same devil is working against both Cyrus and Alizeh. Or that was obvious and I didn’t catch on. Anyways, can Kamran get to Tulan already!

Oh gosh I hate the way Kamran thinks. Is it because I feel for Miss Huda? Yeah. He’s comparing her and Alizeh because these are the only two women he’s acknowledged.

We got THREE perspectives for this book, yay! I’m enjoying it so far, not really sure how it’s going to go. I’m scared it will be similar to the second book.

I’m already loving this book because of this first chapter. Learning about Cyrus from that single chapter gave me more than the first book ever could!

Actually, now that I think about it. If Cyrus physically cannot tell us and Alizeh his history or the T&C of his deal. Why did we waste so much time on it??? Anyways, that was the last book. We’re focusing on the positives of this one!

I’m not particularly excited because of the second book but the blurb looks promising.

This book has my favourite cover so that’s all I’m excited about so far… and Cyrus. I’m a woman after all.
