The first half was so fun, i love fairy tales and the writing was a good fit for such a tale. I liked Soraya as a character for the most part. The cast of characters was just big enough and none of them felt out of place. The second half slowed down for me. Maybe I paused too long and lost the heat of the plot but it felt a little strechted. It resolved as you would expect for a fairy tale (satisfying).

Yk I think I might've liked Azad for a bit too long, he was kinda not alright in the head. Although I found him to be not paranoid enough, for that sort of character trust issues should be pre programmed. Plus I didn't like the scene where Soraya let it slip that she knew.
