really loved the lack of description as to the characters thoughts/emotions because it’s all there in the dialogue.

Maalouf writes so well<3 made a mistake reading the first half of this slowly cause he speeds through events and names so quickly i kept putting it down for a few weeks and forgetting who everyone was. the chapter on salah al din was so good
