#THIS WOVEN KINGDOM BY TAHEREH MAFI

[betterbooksandthings]

“YA lost heir fantasy books are a staple of the YA fantasy genre. You cannot look me in the eye and tell me you aren’t obsessed with an unlikely heir who claws their way out of obscurity to reclaim their ancestral throne. There are dresses and sword fights and monsters and subterfuge, and even a bit of romance. It’s fun, I promise.

Runaway heirs have their reasons for getting out. But, in the lost heir trope, there is an understanding that they will have to come back. A kingdom is about to crumble under the rule of a cruel tyrant. A too-young heir must now reclaim their throne. Even better — a teen with an unknown royal lineage discovers they now have to rule. These books all have a lost teen heir to something and are often in a fantasy setting of some kind.“

all this twisted glory by tahereh mafi

she’d shown him more loyalty and tenderness in two days than he’d ever felt in his life, and he knew then, with a force that drove the air from his lungs, that he would never survive her.

Listen, I read Tahereh Mafi books. If he’s not so in love with me that it makes his life a misery, then I don’t want him.

“i want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with.”

“i would marry you. i’d marry you tomorrow. and then i’d take you to bed. for weeks.”

FOLDED LIKE A BOOK.

very funny to me that every time cyrus is thinking about alizeh and hes like "the things i want to do would TERRIFY her!" and then its oral sex. every time without fail it is eating her out. theres a joke here about his past and future but im too polite to make it

It's so obvious to me after the third book that Kamran has lost the game. Cyrus and Alizeh are endgame ! Looking forward to volume 4 !

♡ my review of all this twisted glory! ♡

i have no words to express how much i loved all this twisted glory. 🥹 i must admit that my expectations weren't that high when i started reading the reviews, but i was very positively surprised by the book.

❥ the mythology of this universe, from the beginning, was very interesting to me, so i found myself very immersed in the story throughout the reading. i didn't have any problems with the pace of the story and, in fact, i think tahereh develops everything she proposes here very well. my only problem is that it's a short book, which could benefit immensely from a few more pages.

❥ alizeh continues to be one of the best protagonists i've ever read, and one of my favorites. i love the way she behaves when faced with the obstacles that arise in her path, her intelligent and pragmatic demeanor worthy of a queen. as for her romantic choice, tahereh is right: it's pretty obvious who she's going to be with throughout the book.

❥ i knew that cyrus's povs would be impactful and yet i managed to be surprised by the intensity of his feelings for alizeh. we also get a deeper look at his character, how lovable he is and everything he's going through during this journey, and he really became one of my favorites. i loved reading about his point of view.

❥ i'm not particularly moved by kamran's dramas, and i think he's a pretty bland character. his feelings for alizeh prove increasingly volatile, and his arrogance when dealing with her is irritating.

❥ i really like all of Alizeh's friends, hazan and huda in particular got the most of my attention here.

i can't wait to read the next books, this is already one of my favorite sagas! ♡

More than that, he wanted to fall to his knees. This tremble inside him, this madness in his heart– it was all for her. All for her. He could hardly look at Alizeh without losing his mind; nearly four weeks he’d seen her only in his dreams, and he’d all but forgotten how finely wrought she was in real life, how delicate her features, how soft the curves of her cheeks. He came to life when she smiled, drew breath when her eyes brightened, died when she left a room. She’d smelled like roses. His roses.

There is a correct answer and it is a redhead who calls alizeh angel, not some whiny ass prince.

5 more minutes...

wc : 256

warnings : js pure fluff <3

a/n : guess whos back, back again, tell ur friends!! anyway sorry for the shit writing, been awhile. proofread by the one and only, @flowers-for-em ❤️‍🩹

taglist : @lxvebelle, @pockyyasii, @never-enough-novels.

orange rays of light seeped through your shared bedroom curtains.

you carefully shifted your body to achieve a more comfortable position to avoid waking cyrus up. A soft groan came from the king. you gently ran your fingers through his bronze hair to quiet him down and send him back to his previous slumber.

the sun was slowly rising by now, delicate rays of sunlight fell on cyrus’ peaceful face. you brushed a strand of hair out of his face with something of a touch. it was considerately too soft for anyone to call it a touch. you smiled at his sleeping figure. thanking god that you woke up to this view every morning.

he slept awfully late last night, so late that you could’ve barely kept your eyelids waiting for him. you were aware of the fact that he was a busy man with the job of a king. 

just when you were about to get up, his hands found your waist. “no, stay, please.” he grumbled into the comfort of his pillows. “i- we have to get ready, as much as i hate it, you have a lot of things to do.” you tried to convince him with your all too lovely tone. “no, please..” he stuffed his head further into the pillows, while his hands held on tighter to your waist. “c’mon baby,” you pleaded with a sigh, shifting further and further away from him. “5 more minutes, please angel” he mumbled, hugging you closer until you really couldn’t escape from his hold.
