Not sure what I feel yet. I love the Ancient Persian inspired setting. The Zoroastrian styled religion in the story is nice as well, as it’s a faith that rarely gets adapted into fictional settings. Well, unless you count Christianity and its copies I suppose. I’m just very curious where it is going. Obviously the divs are planning something. But not all of them. It’s keeping me invested.

Parvaneh, eh? I wonder why she was captured instead of killed. I smell a stunt.

So Soraya definitely once loved Laleh, more than a friend at that. The set-up is being laid out. A captured demon, a way to break the curse, and somehow Azad has a part to play in all of this.

Quite the opener. Cursed by a div to be poisonous because her mom fucked with one of the demons of destruction.
