BiblioQueen | Feb 12, 2024 |   Trigger warnings: Fire, death of a grandfather, child abandonment, physical assault and injury, blood depiction Score: Seven points out of ten. This review can also be found on The StoryGraph. Before I begin, I must say something: the third book is next year? It better be good. Now then, it's been months since I read the first instalment, This Woven Kingdom, and I loved it so much, so I went into this one with high expectations. Honestly, I thought the second part of the series was a minor downgrade, and the first one is better. It starts (or rather continues) with the main character, Alizeh Huda, or Alizeh for short, and the book picks up right off from This Woven Kingdom with an action-packed beginning from the previous ending. The book slowed its pace from here, but that allowed me to explore the character dynamics with Alizeh, Cyrus and Kamran, and the multiple POVs also helped. Alizeh further develops a romantic relationship with Cyrus, which spans throughout most of the narrative, which left nothing much else happening. If it weren't for the romance, I would've given this three stars instead of four. Still, I hope the third book would be an improvement over the second, or even as good or better than the first novel. (  ) Law_Books600 | Jan 3, 2024 | I like Hazan, and he wouldn't take his foot off Kamran's neck. The Kamram plotline is pretty understated. He knows there's a lot of instability with the crown, and he gets an RPG party, basically. But he's really rude here, and I can't see why anyone wanted to help him. Also, the writing language is oh-so flowery that it got annoying. This is fast food. Just eat the greasy burger and get back to clean eating tomorrow. Shhhh With all that said, I’m still up for book three! The Alizeh & Cyrus plotline/Unauthorized recap (don’t sue! :p) Cyrus:“Marry me!”(  ) DestDest | Nov 28, 2023 | Hardcover ISBN 10: 0062972472 ISBN-13 : 978-0062972477 PZ7 .M2695 T 2023 AURA AUHS_Library | Sep 15, 2023 | These Infinite Threads opens with a recap of the ending events of the previous book but from a different point of view. At first, this seems like a good thing, mainly because we only saw those events from Alizeh's point of view. Plus, it is a clever way to recap without having to write an actual description of what happened. We also see firsthand the aftermath of all that action and how Alizeh's disappearance impacts her friends left behind in Ardunia. Unfortunately, this is where the story goes off the rails a bit. Between Kardan's constant lamenting about Alizeh's disappearance and apparent betrayal and then learning about the betrayals in the palace, these scenes quickly grow stale. At the same time, there is little that happens in Tulan either. Alizeh learns very little as well. She spends most of her time angry at Cyrus and trying to find ways to escape. As with the scenes in Ardunia, nothing moves the story forward; time trickles past without any action. We get few answers to our existing questions and nothing but new questions. I hope that all this nothing in These Infinite Threads means that the final book in the trilogy will be the most exciting story yet. That this second book is merely a fluke. The first book was SO good, and the second was so boring that the third has to be exciting, right? Right? ( ) jmchshannon | Jun 24, 2023 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

With the heat of a kiss, the walls between Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, and Kamran, the crown prince of the Ardunian empire, have crumbled. And so have both of their lives. Alizeh, the heir to the Jinn throne, is destined to free her people from the half-lives they've been forced to live under human rule. When Kamran, the heir to the human throne, falls in love with her, he's forced to question everything he's been taught about Jinn. Kamran's grandfather lays dead at the hand of Cyrus, ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Tulan. Cyrus has stolen Alizeh away to his homeland and plans to marry her there, giving her everything she needs to become the Jinn queen??and when she assumes the throne he will have fulfilled his own bargain with the devil. Alizeh wants nothing to do with Cyrus's deal or the devil. But without a way to escape Tulan, and with the fulfillment of her own destiny tantalizingly close, she'll have to decide whether she can set aside her emotions to become the queen her people need. Kamran, meanwhile, is picking up the pieces in Ardunia. Facing betrayal at every turn, all he knows is that he must go to Tulan to avenge his grandfather. He can only hope that Alizeh will be waiting for him there??and that she hasn't yet become the queen of Tulan Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

There is so much happening in this book, all taking place over just a few days. As with the first book, the world-building is impressive and the writing is lyrical. Each chapter ends in suspense, begging the reader to keep going to see what happens next. Mixed in with the intense fighting, escape attempts, and betrayals is a bit of surprising and welcome comic relief that includes secondary characters who are up for the challenge. To say too much more would risk spoilers, but this sequel is breathtaking in its plot, action, and romance. (
