This Woven Kingdom

De: Tahereh Mafi

Narrado por: Kate Reading

New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller from the acclaimed author of the Shatter Me series! Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic romantasy series inspired by Persian mythology.

To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.

The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new romantasy series from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award–nominated author Tahereh Mafi.

“In a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizeh’s own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.” —Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours

“This Woven Kingdom is an exquisite fantasy. Rich with clever prose, delicious twists, and breathtaking world building. Prepare to be destroyed—this one will wrench at your heart and make it pound, and in the end it will leave you entirely speechless.” —Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

Just the beginning…

I love the descriptions in this book. I can imagine every detail from the feel of a fabric to the smells of the desserts. Tahereh Mafi did a fantastic job of capturing me and transporting me into this fantasy world. I’m now invested and can’t wait to read These Infinite Threads to continue the story of Alizeh.

Fantastic Novel

This gripped me the entire time! I wanted to just listen at 2x speed to get it into my brain quicker because it was SO GOOD and I wanted to know how it ended. I am recommending this to everyone, and I eagerly await book 2! Tahereh is a master at writing and deserves all the recognition for it!!

fascinating

I got this on sale because it looked fun. It was that and more. Brilliant writing and the narration was great. I will now buy the next in the series.

amazing story!

I love this book I can not wait till the next one comes out! I could not stop listening to it once I started the story drags you in.

A wild ride from start to finish

I bought this because it was on sale and suggested for me by audible.I didn't expect much... however, it has been an excellent story to follow from beginning to end! I was completely and pleasantly surprised multiple times within the plot which is unusual for me. Great and a very human protagonists, wonderful villains. 10/10

Wow! What a ride…

This was so entertaining and the world is so vivid I want more. This is not a spicy book but it’s so complex and enticing I couldn’t put it down. So worth the credit.

Slow until the end

Mind you that I just finished the SJM Universe as of January 2025. So this story took its time with world building and its characters. The climax has got me hooked though, excited to see what comes next.

Really slow beginning.

At least 8 chapters before it starts getting good, but having listened to some of this authors other books I kept reading in hopes it got better and it did. Wish there would have a male and female narrator. Sometimes it was hard to follow.

Abrupt ending

Like the descriptions and characters, but felt let down when the end simply was a stop in the action, without much resolution.

Loved This!

This is one of those stories that takes a little bit to become fully immersed. However, once it grabbed me, I really was unable to put it down or work in other books. I had to see what was going to happen next and needed to know things would turn out okay for Alizeh! I’ll definitely need to listen to book 2.
