Reviews
“In a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizeh’s own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.”?Cassandra Clare, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Last Hours
"This story is so magical and transportive that I fully expected the book would know the moment I'd finished ? within hours, no less ? and promptly unravel into a pile of jewels and silks in my hands. Mafi's diamond-bright lyrical voice weaves a tale that is gilded in magic, laced with subterfuge, adorned with the brocade of a tortuous romance, and richly embroidered with Persian mythology. I cannot wait for more."?Roshani Chokshi, NYT bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves
“This Woven Kingdom is an exquisite fantasy. Rich with clever prose, delicious twists, and breathtaking world building. Prepare to be destroyed?this one will wrench at your heart and make it pound, and in the end it will leave you entirely speechless.”?Stephanie Garber, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Caraval series
"I've been longing to read a story inspired by The Shahnameh, and This Woven Kingdom captivated me with its deft worldbuilding and searing romance. Alizeh's quiet strength unfurls against a darkly magical backdrop. This book is a glittering jewel, complete with razor-sharp edges.’ –Renée Ahdieh, NYT bestselling author of Wrath & the Dawn
‘Richly textured, descriptive prose coupled with agonizing romance combine in this fantastical epic. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful.’ – Kirkus Reviews
