Liu Yu: I don't know if the spider managed to access the web (t/n: some word pun here i think), @/omid I want to download an anti-fraud app, even though the mushrooms were delicious, my legs are numb from sitting in this cave for over 800 years. 🕸️🕷️ @/yan an is what you said true, can I really leave the cave today? 🥺

Omid: I won't let you leave (only by using the toughest obsidian can it be broken...

Liu Yu: I knew you're a good person 🥹

Omid: I think you should delete the app 🙈

If I have to be honest all the love I have racked up for Alizeh and Cyrus from ATTG has run stale in ESOF. The miscommunication between them killed every sort of tension. I wanted their conversations to be a continuation from their chemistry from ATTG, but was met with unnessary drama.

Like don’t get me wrong, I love Cyrus. But man, he was such a whinny bitch. My dude, for someone that loves to say “my wife, my wife” why the hell did you avoid her so much to the point she literally fell to her knees to cry because she wanted your attention??? Also, aside from being a broody tortured soul and lusting over Alizeh, do you have any more personality? I got so tired of this constant “Oh I love her but I can’t be with her but also don’t touch my wife” because it went absolutely no where.

I love Alizeh but I feel she never grew as a character? She remained the same since book 1. I feel everything was just handed to her—a military? sure. People who love you unconditionally and are willing to die for you? sure. A hot husband who loves you? sure. Magic powers? sure. Nothing was earned from her end which makes character growth rather stale.

THEY CAN NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU KAMRAN.

I am getting tired of this forced villainization of Kamran. We get it, he is not fit for Alizeh. But damn I am so annoyed that he was dumbed down and made to be more irrational just so Cyrus could look good. I miss his friendship/bromance with Hazan. I do understand Hazan’s loyalties have changed to Alizeh + Cyrus but man does that have to mean Hazan and Kamran can’t be bros anymore?????

Huda my sweet baby girl. I love you so much. The fact that she was so ride and die for Alizeh at the mountain makes me want to give her the world. But it’s so sad she is treated like a clown. I wish she had a role in which she was able to help Alizeh. There is so much to Huda but sadly I don’t think Mafi wants to develop her 😭

Y’all I was eating up all the Kamran and Huda bits we got and I wish we got more ! Omg Kamran defending Huda from his mom ahhh that was the first time we saw him standing up for her! Plus his mom complimenting Huda and telling her she was a hottie. The snowball scene where he was teasing her! I am so ready for a novella y’all don’t see the potential for these two!

Hazan, Omid, Akbar and honary mention to Kamran’s mom. Because these 4 made the story tolerable to read.

Overall, I give this book 2.5 stars. This is the second to last book of the series? I am disappointed to say the least. The characters were unique at the start and had so much potential but in the end became victim to the Shatter me tropes Mafi wanted to replicate. Like she is ready for this to end and work on Watch Me.

I will still read the series to find out what happens but man I feel like the plot could have been handled better.
