The breathtaking sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller This Woven Kingdom! Full of explosive magic, searing romance, and heartbreaking betrayal, this series from the award-winning and bestselling author of the Shatter Me series is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sabaa Tahir, and Tomi Adeyemi.
With the heat of a kiss, the walls between Alizeh, the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom, and Kamran, the crown prince of the Ardunian empire, have crumbled. And so have both of their lives.
Alizeh, the heir to the Jinn throne, is destined to free her people from the half-lives they've been forced to live under human rule. When Kamran, the heir to the human throne, falls in love with her, he's forced to question everything he's been taught about Jinn.
Kamran's grandfather lays dead at the hand of Cyrus, ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Tulan. Cyrus has stolen Alizeh away to his homeland and plans to marry her there, giving her everything she needs to become the Jinn queen—and when she assumes the throne he will have fulfilled his own bargain with the devil.
Alizeh wants nothing to do with Cyruss deal or the devil. But without a way to escape Tulan, and with the fulfillment of her own destiny tantalizingly close, she'll have to decide whether she can set aside her emotions to become the queen her people need.
Kamran, meanwhile, is picking up the pieces in Ardunia. Facing betrayal at every turn, all he knows is that he must go to Tulan to avenge his grandfather. He can only hope that Alizeh will be waiting for him there—and that she hasn't yet become the queen of Tulan.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading these books! I really enjoyed the first book, but it'd been a while so I had to reread it before I read these two. And I'm glad that I did, I was able to go straight into these knowing what had happened, and continue reading!
The highly anticipated third novel in the This Woven Kingdom series, full of explosive magic, searing romance, and heartbreaking betrayal, from the award-winning and bestselling author of the Shatter Me series. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sabaa Tahir, and Tomi Adeyemi.
As the long-lost heir to the Jinn throne, Alizeh has finally found her people—and she might've found her crown. Cyrus, the mercurial ruler of Tulan, has offered her his kingdom in a twisted exchange: one that would begin with their marriage and end with his murder.
Cyrus's dark reputation precedes him; all the world knows of his blood-soaked past. Killing him should be easy—and accepting his offer might be the only way to fulfill her destiny and save her people. But the more Alizeh learns of him, the more she questions whether the terrible stories about him are true.
Ensnared by secrets, Cyrus has ached for Alizeh since she first appeared in his dreams many months ago. Now that he knows those visions were planted by the devil, he can hardly bear to look at her—much less endure her company. But despite their best efforts to despise each other, Alizeh and Cyrus are drawn together over and over with an all-consuming thirst that threatens to destroy them both.
Meanwhile, Prince Kamran has arrived in Tulan, ready to exact revenge…
Layered with exquisite tension and heart-stopping romance, All This Twisted Glory is the explosive third book in the captivating, bestselling This Woven Kingdom series.
My Review:
I had such a great time reading these books! I really enjoyed the first book, but it'd been a while so I had to reread it before I read these two. And I'm glad that I did, I was able to go straight into these knowing what had happened, and continue reading!
I will say that These Infinite Threads was almost a filler book, nothing really big or action packed happened, it was a quieter book, more about these characters and their relationships, deepening them and their understanding. But it was setting things up for much more to happen in All This Twisted Glory, which it, too, was a bit slow. But it is looking like it's going to be a 4 of 5 book long series now...
Kamran, well, I didn't really like him that much in these books. I can understand why he was feeling the way that he was. But it felt like he didn't really take into account his privilege. So I'm really glad that Cyrus was introduced! He's done some awful things but he's aware of that, and I think he makes a much better love interest, espcailly with their bargain in place.
The events of Twisted Glory have me so excited to continue on. With all the forces that are acting on them, from the bad guys and from themselves, there's a lot of emotions. Plus with the way things ended, I can't wait for the fourth book!
Loved reading these books and I can't wait to read more by Tahereh Mafi!
