Tonight I made wangun yakni (which looks like brown sludge but tastes delish) and finished THE DAUGHTERS OF IZDIHAR. It was great, though extremely stressful since it deals with women‘s rights. I‘m always so thrilled to find secondary world fantasies that aren‘t pseudo-medieval! This one‘s pseudo-Egyptian with an early 20th century vibe to it. #audiocooking

So I really liked this book. It was so frustrating the limited rights for women. I liked the magical elements. I didn‘t like and could not stand Nihail. She was so pigheaded and didn‘t listen to what anyone else would say. There is strong women and then annoyingly stubborn women… she just didn‘t care how her actions affected other people. I really liked Georgina and this book ended on a cliffhanger type ending. So now to impatiently wait.
