The fastest 5 stars I鈥檝e ever given, through the whole book from the very beginning till the last sentence I鈥檝e given it 5 stars. It鈥檚 everything i love, it鈥檚 traumatic, poetic, philosophical, painful, enjoyable every roman empire every 鈥渢abu鈥� thought i think about but never share. The madness, the characters, and countless plots in every scene. A masterpiece and it joined my all time favorites list with no hesitation. Mirna el Mahdy never fails to impress me, but in this one she succeeded all the expectations. The book never left my mind when I鈥檓 not reading it all day I鈥檓 affected by all it鈥檚 traumas and very daring unapologetic truth of this world we live in. I guess I鈥檒l be imprisoned in this book for a while.
