This Woven Kingdom
Beschrijving van het boek
Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—New York Times bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s first novel in this epic, romantic fantasy series inspired by Persian mythology.
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.
The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom – and the world.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-nominated author, Tahereh Mafi.
“An original fantasy saga threaded through with Persian myths written by a queen of the genre. A* grade world-building” – The Times Best YA Books for Summer 2022
‘Forbidden love and Persian mythology are at the center of this new trilogy series, and it might be Mafi's best work yet.’ – Cosmopolitan, Best YA Books of 2022
‘Master of YA fantasy’ Pop Sugar
‘Gut-wrenchingly beautiful.’ – Kirkus 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 New York Times 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, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves

- It took me a while to get into it but I found the main character very intriguing and kept listening. I’m so glad I did! This is a masterpiece! And the narrator is amazing too.

Jag hade svårt i början av den här boken eftersom det var svårt att vänja sig vid skrivandet. Men när jag kom in i det började jag verkligen gilla den. Först var den ganska långsam; inget hände egentligen, men jag tyckte att uppbyggnaden för nästa bok var väldigt smart samt att det var ett starkt slut. Boken fick mig att verkligen vilja börja på nästa!Ik raad aan

Texten i sig är otroligt välskriven med vackra beakrivelser och äventyr med inslag av komedi och skiften mellan karaktärer är otroligt välbalanserat.Boek★5

- I loved this book so much! I wasn't a fan of the shatter me series but the concept of this book intrigued me, so I decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did because not only is the prose masterful, clever and witty, it actually has some of the best dialogue I've read in a long time. It's not pretentious or clichéd just plain clever with distinct characterization that is never trite or predictable. The pacing, the story, the world building is all so intruiging and masterful! This is my favourite read of the year so far!
