Publisher's summary

A New York Times bestselling series!

The highly anticipated third novel in the This Woven Kingdom series, full of powerful 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 Woven Kingdom series.

Tahereh never misses

Ah! This series has a chunk of my heart. The story, the magic, the culture, the longing, the devotion, the perspective. *chef’s kiss* Tahereh knew what she was doing and the narrator did too. This was exquisite to listen to and an absolute joy to dive into. I only wish I could immediately immerse myself into the next book in this series.

Another stunning addition!

I spent the last hour of the book deeply troubled because I believed it to be the last book in the series. Don’t be like me, and enjoy! There are 2 more books to come!

Surprisingly Meh

Confusingly bad considering her other books. Characters took odd arcs that were jarring and not in a good way. Main characters were weak and boring. And apparently Cyrus can only lust and be tormented. The. Entire. Book.

So good!

I can not explain how her use of words weave and create such a beautiful story. I was hanging on every word, for all three books. This one was my favorite. Delicious.

Well that kind of felt like a filler

I really love this storyline. I think it has a lot of potential but this book felt like the story was running in place. It was still good don't get me wrong but it ended with few answers and even more questions.

This must be book 2.5

While learning more about the characters was nice...there is zero movement of the plot and it just...ends. I was under the distinct impression this was supposed to be the FINAL book in a Trilogy. Thus I can only conclude this must be 2.5 and 3 is still coming.

As always, the world is beautifully written and the characters captured me completely only to leave me yelling at my phone when it said it was over.

What can I say?

This book was so fantastic but I’m utterly disappointed Tahereh!!! I thought this was the end of the trilogy… that I would FINALLY receive the answers I’ve been waiting for. Instead Tahereh expertly pulled me in with every heart breaking word and I hung on each chapter heart pounding in hopeful anticipation of finding the answers I was seeking only to realize —- there will be a fourth book and I have to wait….. 😭😭😭😭 good job Tahereh. I’m caught hook line & sinker. Enmeshed in your expertly written prose. Heart pounding… now waiting (impatiently) to learn what comes of all these beloved characters… If you love well written descriptions, full deep character development, heart breaking betrayal and impossible situations… you willl LOVE this book. You will devour the whole series ❤️ but if you are wise you will wait until all her books have been written to dive in, because when you start you won’t want to stop… unless you’re a sucker for the anticipation 😉 well done Tahereh Mafi.

and so— I wait ❤️‍🩹

meh

This was okay but I feel like this series isn't getting better. I loved the first book but these last two haven't been great. Also, nothing against the narrator because she has a nice voice but she feels too... old? to do these characters. It's not a good fit with this series

Disappointing 3rd book.

I really enjoyed the first two books, but this one seemed to drag. I kept waiting for something to happen, but after the beginning the plot stalled.

A year of anticipation

The thought of waiting another year for the next book is incredibly unbearable 😩can’t wait!
