These Infinite Threads (This Woven Kingdom, 2)

After reading This Woven Kingdom and being let down by it, I didn’t have any plans to continue this series whatsoever. My expectations for this book were also quite low. However, I was blown away. The characters are written so well. In classic Tahereh Mafi fashion, they’re super complex and multilayered. The love triangle is already intense, and both love interests have a strong enemies-to-lovers dynamic. The writing is beyond amazing. The prose flows nicely and doesn’t feel clunky. The emotions feel strong and raw, and while there isn’t a lot of actual romancing, the yearning more than makes up for it. While this book isn’t action-packed and is more character-driven, it still holds up the storytelling. After finishing it, the book does feel more like a setup for the next installment rather than a true sequel. Overall, I loved this book and I’m glad I read it. I felt so nostalgic while reading it—it reminded me a lot of how the Shatter Me series made me feel, where you can hate a character and then love them all at once.

I devoured this books quickly. I love Taherehs writing and I absolutely adore Cyrus. I need more of him ASAP please. Despite loving the characters, and her writing, I feel like nothing really happened in this book. I swear it only covered the span of like one or two days max which is wild. Part of that comes from splitting the perspectives. Which part of me thinks we could honestly do without. It’s hard for me to care about Kamran or what happens to him. He gets in my nerves and even he himself seems to realize how flawed he is which is albeit refreshing but only if he improves upon it in the next book. So far he’s annoying naive, easily manipulated, wishy-washy and self-righteous. Despite that I think there’s hope for him. Maybe. I do love the little ragtag crew assembled around him by the end of it. I am very much ready for the next book and hope it gives a little more plot wise other wise I think we’re in for a long series of its only going to move days forward at a time.

I have never more thoroughly enjoyed a book in which nothing happens. Classic book 2, but without the annoyance of it being slow paced. I am so looking forward to more of Cyrus and finding out about his deal with Iblees.

First impression. These Infinite Threads picks up right where This Woven Kingdom left off – With Alizeh falling from the back of a dragon. And the action keeps right on going. The reader is dumped right in the middle of the after affects of betrayal, machinations, and surprise revelations. What kept me reading (or didn’t). I truly, truly hated Cyrus for most of the book, and didn’t want to like him or feel sorry for him, but by the end, just like Alizeh, I couldn’t help it. He stole my heart, or rather broke it. Alizeh grew leaps and bounds when the realization she is NOT alone, and that there are thousands of Jinn looking for and waiting for her. The moment she realized this was powerful, and fortified her in the face of all the revelations about Cyrus. (Curse him! Literally….) At times the strength of her resistance to pressure for Iblees (albeit indirectly) felt unusual, I am glad she resisted. While Kamran – whom I fell even more in love with! – is wading through the devastation left behind by Cyrus’ sudden appearance and subsequent disappearance, also grows hugely as he learns just how sheltered and coddled he was. Frustratingly, he jumps to conclusions – rightfully and understandably so – and those conclusions put him at odds with a powerful and completely surprising ally. There is one character in particular I can’t wait to learn more about – and I hope desperately he gets more page time in the next books: HAZAN! After taste. Twists and turns. Two, maybe three, swoony males, a strong female, and an invisible enemy pulling the strings makes this series a great read. The imagery is grand without being over done, and while the emotions of the characters is, at times, over written, the series is one I will probably read again. Final Thoughts and Recommendations This is a fantastically written young adult series I would recommend to middle teens and above. There is some cursing and a few moments of sexual tension, but nothing descriptive. The audio by Kate Reading is fantastic.

4.5 stars “Let me worship you.” My heart, oh dear my heart. They’re all miserable and now I am too. But there’s hope! Hot damn, this is good. Really good. I’m quite in a predicament, you see, I’m torn. Reading These Infinite Threads made me learn to love another character - which is a betrayal to Kamran. I’m rooting for both, though because of loyalty I’m rooting for Kamran 2% more 🤭 There’s no way Alizeh would take a harem, would she?👀 I won’t be mad if she did. It would hurt when this series ends. I’m thankful for the hooligan’s presence - they make the pain a little easier to handle 😆 I’m ready for book 3!

Absolutely love this author, this series is fantastic. I'm waiting on tenterhooks for the last installment 😬

Qualidade ótima!!!!livro chegou em perfeito estado,essa edição tá ótima,folhas grossinhas,capa resistente,valeu muito a pena.A história é muito boa!!!!gosto muito e recomendo!!!

Yet another Amazing book 2 - it was the perfect fit to the series. The only thing is that this book was a bit bigger than the other ones - maybe the printing was done a bit differently. But other than the size - the book was amazing.

Nice book.
