New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller! Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic, romantic trilogy 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.

“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 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 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

Jinn, the Devil, and warring kingdoms, oh my!
What a great start to this new Persian-inspired fantasy series! I was hooked in chapter 1. By chapter 2, I was entranced. Between mention of what seemed like fire magic, the shadowy and mysterious appearance of the devil and an origin story all in the first 3 chapters — I knew this was going to be a story I would devour and crave more of!Alizeh, long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, is forced to live her life on the run and hide in plain sight when her path unexpectedly collides with Kamran, crown prince and heir to the reigning kingdom of Ardunia. Their distinctly divided lives can't help but keep crossing as rumors swirl and prophesy Ardunia's downfall - with them both at the center of it all.There's a swoony forbidden romance, royalty in hiding, deception, secrets and sinister plots. And oooh the twists!! It's heavily character driven but with just enough plot development and enchanting mysteriousness to keep you turning page after page! I'm really looking forward to the next installment. And that ending!!! Beware the cliffhanger.READ THIS IF YOU LIKE:— lush, magical fantasy worlds— Persian mythology— dual POVs— jinn x ancient kingdoms— fire? ice? magic— origin stories— warring kingdoms x courtly intrigue— forbidden love x royalty in hiding— prophecies x foretellings— woven things x fireflies— body positivity— magical artifacts— DRAGONSPossible Content Warnings: self harm, depression/hopelessness, fear of the dark, grief, suicide attempt, suicidal thoughtsThank you to the publisher for my advanced galley copy!

rating: 4.5

i went into this pretty blind and i had a really good time. it starts a bit slow, but the second half ramps up and snowballs pretty quickly into a very enjoyable cliffhanger ending.

persian mythology set to a cinderella retelling (ish), this is a very different experience from shatter me. well, the mmc/love interest switch up feels a bit similar lol.

she really had me going with kamran, even though i've seen the fan art and ship posts i was like ok what's up... and then enter cyrus heheheh. i swear if a dog joke comes out again i'm gonna lose it completely XD

i was very impressed in the last 15% or so when mafi is weaving several different plans abound. as i'm not familiar with the source material, this felt very fresh and unpredictable to me.

i think i'm going to love book 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy World Building, Low Romance, Great Leads

First, I will say that I went into this read with different expectations. I didn't realize it was a Young Adult book because I didn't read lol that being said, the story is HEAVY in world building. The first 6 chapters did reel me in but after that I had to dredge through it until the last quarter of the book finally reeled me back in.

I may be a little off but from the first page to the last, it was maybe a week in story time? So it was long and drawn out for me.

The characters are well written, and I do have a small attachment to them. The romance is minimal and very PG with only one romantic scene. The female lead is strong and intelligent and the male lead has that tough with everyone else but soft for her type of personality and I LOVE IT. But it was definitely a bit rough getting through.

After reading I wasn't left with that needing sensation of getting the next book. I will pick it up when the second one drops in paper back, but I don't have that "I can't live until I read it" feeling like I get with most reads.

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t to find this as engrossing as I did. It moves fast, the characters make you feel things, and the romance was some of the swooniest I’ve read especially when so little detail is presented. Stunning writing that drew me right in.

I absolutely loved this book. The world building, slow burn romance, and enemies to lovers tropes are chef’s kiss!! One of my favourite book series is The Wrath and the Dawn and this book definitely gave me these vibes. There’s so much beautiful imagery and references to elements of Persian culture. I love the dynamic between the main characters who definitely play into the enemies to lovers trope. The book is not very spicy at all, and I love spicy books! Despite this, there’s a lot of adventure and pining between the main characters. I also love that the narration of the book changes so we see different perspectives.

When you read this book, be prepared for an incredible forbidden romance, monarchy secrets, and a bit of violence. The world building in this book is absolutely exquisite. Everything is written so beautifully. It’s very detailed, and you’ll be able to see exactly how everything looks in your head. Do not delay. This book is worth it 😍

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for 16-17+
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

It was a good book, but I thought that it would be more romance centered based on the description, and it turned out to be more of a political fantasy, so if that isn't your cup of tea I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Throughout the book there was a surprising amount of words I had to look up the pronunciation of, because I can't deal with just guessing when I don't know for sure.

I think I would recommend this book though, to people around 16-17+ only because the story is a little bit hard to follow at times and I can see how it might be difficult for younger audiences.

There wasn't really any spice, which I was glad for, but if that's what you enjoy I think you should check out a different book.

Alizeh is alone in the world, hiding her true identity and living as an overworked servant. She’s Jinn and has ice in her veins. She’ll be in danger if anyone discovers who she is because she’ll be seen as a threat to the human king. Kamran, the young prince, sees Alizeh help a homeless thief and is intrigued by her actions. The more he observes her, the more curious he becomes. The king, Kamran’s grandfather, sees that the prince is interested in the girl so he explains that their kingdom’s peace is at stake if they let her live. He orders Kamran to put her to death and then be ready to attend the planned ball the next evening and choose a wife. Alizeh works as a seamstress after her servant hours are finished for the day. She’s helping Miss Huda with several gowns. Alizeh is exhausted and after she leaves Miss Huda, she’s attacked by six men. She warns them but they laugh at her so she subdues them with the only weapons she has available, seamstress needles and scissors. Afterwards, she’s approached by a man who has been searching for her and wanting to protect her from harm. He sees the attack and knows she can protect herself. He offers her assistance and safety. He will take her away at the ball the following night. He also gives her a nosta, a rare orb that warms in your hand when the truth is told and chills like ice when a lie appears. This man’s identity is a surprising twist to the story! Huzzah!!!
The action takes over and another twist is revealed, ending the book with a bang! I can hardly stand to wait for the next book! Elegant storytelling, 5 stars!

I (16F) bought this book after seeing it everywhere (my instagram for you page and Tahereh Mafi's instagram page). I loved her Shatter Me series (especially Ignite Me because who doesn't love Aaron Warner). After reading and rereading her Shatter Me series like a billion times, I tried this book and I loved it. The writing got me interested quick (even though its a switch up from her usual first-person POV). And the plot was great. I loved the characters and the Persian mythology plot. Highly recommend for teens who loved her Shatter Me series and are looking for similar writing.

This felt different than Tahereh's previous works, but was refreshing to read. Think Cinderella retelling only a bit darker with a Shakespearean vibe to it? Absurd in an endearing way with a swoony romance, political intrigue and mystery unfolding with every chapter. Kept me hooked and intrigued, specially at the end. the pacing is so well done even with the complex language that gives Jane Austen energy but make it YA.

Bring on the sequel!

 Ainda tô pra ler a saga Estilhaça-me da autora mas não pude resistir quando essa edição capa dura entrou em promoção! A edição é linda, a jacket é tipo laminada.

Acredito que vou gostar bastante da história, a sinopse me deixou muito animada.

A entrega foi dentro do prazo e o livro chegou certinho (só com um amassadinho nas pontas da jacket, dá pra ver no vídeo).
