ensnare you and refuse to let you go." Tasha Suri, author of
The Jasmine Throne
"Shahnaz s gripping debut is a twisty story...slowly unveiling a plot full of courtly intrigue with a determined lead character whose personal agency is the focus. Riveting, time-looping fun."
Kirkus Reviews
"Anaïs s profound feelings of isolation and loneliness, and her repeated deaths, including her subsequent grief and trauma following each, are handled with complexity and gravitas alongside discussions of intersectionality in this elaborate debut."
Publishers Weekly
Anaïs is a heroine well worth rooting for: resourceful, clever, and rarely one to indulge in self-pity, she enters each night with a gritty determination to stop the violence and put things right.
The Bulletin
"Shahnaz has created an entire world of rich cultures and history....A perfect choice for fans of second chances, also third, fourth, etc."
