***SPOILERS*** Oh, Renee Ahdieh. You are a clever, evil person. I mean that in the fondest way possible, though. Much like “Flame in the Mist”, this book starts off slow. Almost unbearably so, in fact. That is, until the charm that encaptured you in book one reactivates, and you feel a rush of emotion and love for the characters and the book. This story really digs deep into the roots of Arabian settings and culture, and Sheherzad is as fierce as ever. I found a strange love for some of the characters I hated in book one, such as Rahim, who turned out to be a wonderful secondary character. The subtle relationships, like that of Khalid and Irsa. All in all, it was a very satisfying conclusion! Rating 3/5 - @jewelreader of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library In comparison to the first book, this one was equally satisfying to read. I adore the protagonist in her fiery devotion and selflessness, and the scenarios she is put in are honestly trivial. The plot is an amazing carpet of fibres and colours, blended with the characters' acts of power, love, hate, and more. I really felt it when Rahim died, even though I didn't think I would have liked him at all. He wasn't given too much background, but I felt it through Irsa's sorrow. The epilogue was adorable though! - @Siri of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
