That’s not a technique that I’m very familiar with (although Kingdom of the Wicked did it to some extend in the first chapters, as explained in my re v iew) but it’s simply brilliant. What I found remarkable was the use of chapter cliffhangers. I absolutely loved the Persian mythology references like the creation myth and the Arabian setting. However, I soon was completely lost in the story. I have to admit it took a bit of getting used to, seeing that the writing style is rather dense and the dialogues are a tad unexpected (think Austen or Brontë). But everything changes when she meets Kamran, heir to the Clay throne… A true jewel But after the death of her parents, she is forced to live the life of an anonymous servant. But the prophecy has foretold the death of the human king by the hand of a Jinn with frosted blood…Īlizeh has been hidden her entire life, knowing that she would one day rise up and save her people. Jinn are now allowed to exist, but they cannot use their magical talents any longer. But while this new legislation ended the bloodshed, it did not at all create equality. However, when new equality laws were passed, a tentative truce came to be. This Woven Kingdom is a YA fantasy inspired by Persian mythology and tells the tale of a young woman destined to be queen, and a young man forced to bow to the strict rules surrounding his throne.įor years, war raged between the Clay (humans) and the Jinn (supernatural beings that rules the Earth before the arrival of mankind).
