pickThe smartest, most creative, most real book I have read in a very long time. Don't worry about death. Sacrifice yourself to life. Cyrus will always be a part of my heart. The way Akbar wrote about historical martyrs through poetry was ingenious. Cyrus's dreams were beautiful and added so much to Cyrus's quest. It made me ashamed of being American (not owning up to killing 278 Iranian people), but there is hope. You just can't quit searching.
This cover is stunning! Can‘t wait to dive into my February surprise book!
pickAmazing. A look at the current state of rebellion under the Islamic regime of Iran, following the cruel murder of a young woman by morality police because her headscarf wasn‘t worn perfectly.
so-so⭐️⭐️💫 Unpopular opinion, but I didn‘t connect with this at all. Found the MC self absorbed and as a result just didn‘t really care about his obsession with martyrdom or any of the side stories from the other characters. I kept thinking “I don‘t care!” to myself and bumping up the playback speed to get it over sooner. Glad others enjoyed it more than I did! #ToB25
pickThis is among my favourites of the #ToB25 books I've read so far. The writing is beautiful, there were interesting and unexpected twists, and I spent some time mulling over the ending. Looking forward to the #LitsyToB discussion.

pickBloody brilliant, magic, whimsical. He has a powerful and unique voice, will definitely reread because it has so much content and subtle beauty, existential questions and more. Anyone else read this? Would love to hear your thoughts #martyr #kavehakbar #brilliantbook
