All This Twisted Glory by Tahereh Mafi
" 4.15!

โ€œBut life cannot be experienced one emotion at a time. It is a tapestry of sensation, a braided rope of feeling. We must allow for reflection even when we suffer. We must reach for compassion even when we triumph. If you spend your days waiting for your sorrows to end so that you might finally liveโ€� โ€� he shook his head โ€� โ€œyou will die an impatient man.โ€�


I kind of want woven four more than watch me right now ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป I feel like tahereh' s writing was so enjoyable to read, I love the quotes in this book and I read like the atmosphere she created but much like book 2 this feels like a filler with a bit more plot work than book 2 but there's one thing that I like, it's how she still makes the book enjoyable like ok sure it would be a little slow and confusing at times but I would never be bored and I feel like the length of these books are so good 400-450 is honestly perfect. I like that she didn't drag this book and omgg the last 30% of this book was hands down one of my favourite moments in the entire series.

โ€œHe wanted to make her laugh. He wanted to hold her hand. He wanted to bring her tea and walk with her through the seasons. He wanted to watch her conquer the earth.โ€�

Alizeh, I don't really have much to say about her role in this one because she was not present for a considerable portion of the book but there are so many questions surrounding her and her arc in the next book would be so good and fun to read also I love how she friendzoned Kamran because ๐Ÿ™„ deserved and obviously CyrusAlizeh on top ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ�

โ€œYou canโ€™t lie to me forever, Cyrus. Iโ€™m going to find out the truth about you, and when I do, I promise you this: Iโ€™ll ruin him. Iโ€™ll make the devil regret the day he was born.โ€�

Cyrus, the man that you are. I have never ever in my life read about a character who is this downbad for his girl ( not his girl technically but ๐Ÿซณ๐Ÿป๐Ÿซด๐Ÿป) he did everything for her and he literally SWORE ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ I LOVED THAT PART SO MUCH! Because he knew what it meant and he still did it. I love how it went from enemies to attracted haters to potential lovers ๐Ÿคญ I honestly would not quit this series ever if Cyrus is alive and well. Also the way he humbled Kamran ๐Ÿคญ loved it!!

โ€œFiction or not, she'd embedded inside him, replaced the air in his lungs. That she'd proven to be real--more exquisite than he'd dreamed--and entirely ignorant of him, had been more than he could bear.โ€�

Kamran and his court ๐Ÿ™„ this is the most foolish, dumb, and unrealistic court that I have ever seen. Huda, Omid and Dean need to shut their traps. HAZAN, I love him. Kamran ๐Ÿ˜’ he's the nastiest bitch to ever exist. Look, I liked him in book 1, he was alright in book 2, but him in this ๐Ÿ˜ค nah uh jail to you bitch because there's no way he'd say and manipulate and think with his delusional ass that he still has a chance with alizeh while she literally declined him and he literally didn't even care about her. Not to mention what he did to her at the start.

โ€œHe came to life when she smiled, drew breath when her eyes brightened, died when she left a room.โ€�

The romance ๐Ÿ™๐ŸปLOVE IT. Easily my favourite part of this book like how much slow burn is too much slow burn ma'am ๐Ÿ˜พ like three books and not even one kiss ๐Ÿ˜’ only Cyrus's wet dreams ๐Ÿ˜ญ but the end broke my heart sooo much. The thing that happened at the end made it soooo much better and shaped book 4 to be amazing also CyrusAlizeh confirmed ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‹

โ€œHe wondered if she had any idea what he'd do for her, the worlds he'd destroy for her.โ€�

As for the plot, not much to say but I know the next book will be more plot focused since this was mostly just build up.

Overall, a filler but a very enjoyable one!
___
Me and Roxy so have been consumed by this series ๐Ÿ˜ญ we NEED CyrusAlizeh to be endgame ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป and since the next one is coming out this year we need to get to this ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿป

BUDDY READING WITH THE ONE AND ONLY ROXY (out of her slump ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ�)"
