This Woven Kingdom audiobook

Tahereh Mafi put her whole taHUSSY into this…this was 40 chapters of badassey, ecstasy, and euphoria. this book singlehanded cured my depression. it’s been a hot minute since i picked up a fantasy book and after reading this book…i won’t be able to get enough. this shit was gold. the writing? immaculate. the characters? i would DIE for them! the ending? TAHEREH if you don’t drop book 2 IMMEDIATELY 🔪 i was here for every minute of this book. from the Persian mythology that was woven into it to the lush romance. omfg like i was NOT disappointed once! our main girl Alizeh? badass to say the least. Kamran? deserves the fucking world! the way Kamran is falling HARD for Alizeh… “You have consumed my thoughts since the moment I met you…i feel now, in your presence, entirely strange. i think i might fetch you the moon if only to spare your tears again.” like AHHHHHthis book reminded me why the forbidden love trope is my FAVORITE. we get this knife to the throat scene that had me screaming into the night sky. “speak the truth now or i will slit your throat” is a love languagetahereh deserves to get her ass ATE for publishing this masterpiece ngl. ma’am is THAT bitch!

this is very ‘an ember in the ashes’ meets ‘the city of brass’ and i couldnt be happier.because this reminded me of two books that i love, of course i would subjectively enjoy this. but from an objective perspective, i think this also has all of the necessities for a strong start of a series:- really interesting world (based on persian mythology)- readable writing (good pacing, consistent flow/development, and engaging plot)- characters you can get behind (who doesnt love a long lost queen, a dutiful prince, and good forbidden romance?)all of the basics are there and TM has masterfully woven them into a really intriguing story - one i couldnt stop reading.a massive thanks to harper collins for the ARC!↠ 4.5 stars

Kamran is Aaron Warner in another universe if he had better parents

Omg how can I even explain how much I love this books. I went into this with high expectations just because shatter me is one of my favourite series of all time and I was positively surprised. Not only did I love the third person writing style but the world building was great. KAMRAN, Alizeh and every other character like Miss Huda had amazing characters and detailed story lines. I loved Alizeh. She had such a amazing backstory with so much mystery and I cannot wait to find out more and more in the next book. Kamran's position in this book, as the nice prince is also quite great. I loved his perspectives and his role in this entire story. Now the romance was good. This is definitely not slow burn but more love at first sight but oh wow that first kiss was amazing. The plot twist was also great and the introduction of the enemy was very detailed and still I have questions. I absolutely have no idea who the love interest will be since we have so many options and the theories in m head are running wild but I cannot wait to see what Tahereh does with this amazing first book.

wait……..this was actually so good? ignore anyone who says this is like Game of Thrones tho bc that’s very much not true at all lol, this book is straight up a fairytale/retelling with very, very strong Cinderella vibes — but in the best way. truly i enjoyed this from start to finish and that’s saying a lot because i don’t love any of TM’s other books. i want book 2 now thothis is a Persian YA fantasy through and through and i’m glad to see that Tahereh is finally embracing the culture and not writing for the white gaze anymore. it has Islamic influences re: the history of jinn which was very exciting to readthe fairytales that this reminded me of were: Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and Aladdin

I would come willingly." "I think I might fetch you the moon, if only to spare your tears again."*clears throat* Ms Mafi, this review is personal. You hear? personal. Because who told you to write such a literary masterpiece...and then not immediately give me the next book? My jaw is on the floor right now, I don't even know where to start. I want to start off by saying that her writing style is just so amazing- and the more she writes, the better it gets. It really was amazing watching her writing develop throughout her books, especially this one! The writing was beautiful, the world building was immaculate, the plot twists?. And the characters? Don't even get me started on Mr Kamran, he reminds me so much of Warner

oh i’m beyond excited for the rest of this series

one cannot fathom the love i have for this book (and tahereh mafi for that matter 😏)did a rookie mistake of reading this so early, i’m still craving more of this 😭😭the writing style is SO goodthe female mc is a strong onethe world building is so well donethe first book is so fine, imagine the rest pf the series 😭

the last time I read a T.M book was when I was a teenager (ages ago, basically) so I was kind of worried that my teenage brain had deluded myself into thinking that every T.M book will be good.It was no delusion I can tell you that.Taherah is such a brilliant writer man. The worldbuilding, the story telling, the characters - everything is just so brilliantly done.

there is something about middle eastern muslim authors that write fantasy like they r really gnna eat every single time.

This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi, a brand new series inspired from Persian Mythology? I am all in for it !!! I read this book and omggg, I did not see this coming from Tahereh Mafi seeing her previous works 😍Plus one point for the author to try something very different from her usually work and come up with such a brilliant start to an amazing and epic new romantic trilogy. Alizeh and Prince Kamran are my new OTP now! 🤌The dialogues between Kamran and Alizeh are just mesmerizing. The way our badass character Alizeh turns into a softy for Kamran is marvelous. Prince Kamran, my nerves melt to see him turn all out for Alizeh. 🥺❤️I have so much more to say but it would all lead to spoilers, I highly recommend you pick up this new series but remember it's very different from her previous works and this author and this series so much more recognition than Shatter Me series.

FOUR STARSKamran obsessing over Alizeh is my religionReview to come-------------------------jinn, ancient bloodlines, Persian mythology,just take my motherfucking money already

4.5/5I'm sorry to be this dramatic but WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THAT ENDING??????????????????????????????????? I AM IN PAIN.Anyways, I'll post more coherent thoughts closer to the actual release date but this book turned me FERAL. I haven't been into YA or fantasy all that much in the past few years which is tragic because YA fantasy used to be my fave. But this book?? Ticked all the boxes for me! - Alizeh is a bad bitch and I would d-word for her- Kamran is a SIMP. [See below]- The romance gave me alllll the shippy feels though I suspect we are (view spoiler)[veering into a love triangle in the series (hide spoiler)]- Mafi's writing is GORGEOUS and it really lends itself to all the lush Persian mythologyI'm actually so pumped to be this invested in a new series. I can't wait to see Alizeh be the queen she is in the next few books!Full RTC["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
