I knew when I was getting into the book - this will be a hard book as I have lived in Muslim Countries in spaces of time due to my Dad’s work - I have been to Saudi too - Me & my mom have lived in a gated community with restrictions during our stay - there is is less freedom for women there. I have also known barbaric stories from a Kenyan boss while in Dubai of what Saudi women go through but this book really opened my eyes to atrocities that women go through in name of them just being women - according to their Quran they are meant to be treated like however men like, they are progressive countries like UAE, Kuwait & others where things are definitely different but Saudi is the worst.

This book was a small one but I had to pace it as it was hard to stomach, I went through the emotions of what Sultana went through, her helplessness & her will to fight even though it was out of her hands - she is one hell of a woman.

I can’t imagine how can they receive these spiritual messages of when things are about to head into death and birth, but they are so close minded and not forward when it comes to women’s rights and the women are so shackled to their chains because of luxury, base of living & they have nowhere to go if divorced.

I am intrigued of the next books in the series but I will think about it
