This was a loud and satisfying moment of female rage and revenge packed into a Pakistani re-telling of the count of monte cristo with a heavy dose of djinn magic. I loved that Varga didn’t shy away from letting Dania get violent and brutal in her revenge.
The pacing was a little off, and it made the ending feel very rushed. It could have benefitted from being a bit longer.
I also think it could have been even better as an adult book rather than YA, which would have given it room to explore some of the darker themes and brutality a little more. Overall I really enjoyed it, though!
