 I really love this book series. Renee Ahdieh has a beautiful writing style. It's mesmerizing and I can't get enough of it. Every character grew a lot in the second installment and I had only one minor issue with it (view spoiler)[regarding Despina and Jalal. I did not enjoy that they went from big side characters to minor ones. (hide spoiler)] 
 I enjoyed the introduction of new characters like Shazis sister and I honestly enjoyed the mix of slow and fast paced storytelling in this book. 
 I can't believe that it's over and I can't believe that there are no books left with Khalid and Sharazad. I already miss them so much. Gladly, I can always re-read the series.
