I genuinely don’t think that reveal was necessary but I think Sylvia wanted to be true to herself after all these years, it’s what the book has been building toward, finally facing the past and people she’s been running from.
Sad that Her and Arin are probably back to square one now tho, they were so good togetherrrr

It is so satisfying to read his fear that something would happen to her after this whole book of them hating each other’s guts.
And when he said she didn’t have to do the third trial and could just run away and he wouldn’t chase her? Immaculate.

I really like the book tho sometimes it’s like the author completely forgets where they are. Like rn Sylvia got on Arins horse, which was apparently standing around quietly after an EARTHQUAKE. He’s half unconscious, yet they’re TROTTING& having a full conversation. Is she sitting in the saddle or behind it? No mention of slowing down or getting off the horse but she’s falling asleep and taking steps??

Whoa ok a lot happened. Soraya (her childhood maid) appeared and stabbed her. Then they went on to have a full conversation while she still had the knife in her chest. And how reliable is Sylvia’s narration really? Apparently she broke Mervat’s arm as a child for not playing with her and felt no guilt? That’s fucked. But Soraya still said she was so cute and affectionate? I am confused. But Arin defo likes her

That’s funny that he was clearly caught off-guard when he heard her voice. He probably thought it was one of the guards who entered.
And second!! Molokhia mentioned!!!!!! That made me so happy, I’ve actually recognized quite a few of the dishes mentioned throughout the book. I think it’s a nice detail to include actual middle eastern food with their arabic names

Damn Vaida’s got TEA

I fortfor that Sefa and Marek didn’t know Sylvia was a Jasadi

I wasn’t sure at first but it’s definitely growing on me. There is more ro it than just what’s on the surface

She’s 20? Nice. Though from my first impression it reads younger
