AND THE STORY CONTINUES
: Court of Lions - Somaiya Daud



This time it won’t be slow because exams got postponed https://twitter.com/JadunaOfFlames/status/1306947203748057090

I love how on the dramatis persona labels [redacted] as [redacted]

Somaiya has some of the best opening paragraphs that just grip you and let you into the story immediately

Oh god oh god oh god YAAAASSSSS

I have so many theories about the prologue

Tala is wonderful

Scenes between Maram and Amani make my heart lodge in my throat through pain

This is extremely heartbreaking

Fuck Mathis

MARAM POV YAAAASSSSS

She’s rebuilding. My H E A R T

Butterflies are just restless inside me reading this scene, My heart is swollen with joy

“but she’d explicitly asked the artist to have her turn away so that the absence of daan on her face would not be so clear to the viewer.”

GIVE HER HER DAAN PLEASE

Maram misses Amani

I’VE JUST MET AGHRAAS! FINALLY and it’s safe to say I’m falling head over heels for her

Omg she just said “you must not” to Maram, without being close with her or knowing her. I LOVE HER

Eye- of all the things I expected Maram to say, ordering Amani to [redacted] was not it

Curse this heart, I’m crying again

I’m STILL convinced [redacted] MUST be related one way or another. Maybe cousins.

Listening to Ma3shar l3ushaq by Carmen Tockmaji during this scene did me in I WAS STABBED DIRECTLY IN THE FEELS

I’timad breaking all boundaries >>>>>>>>>>>>

This is what my parents are like

I just wanted to say your name

AGHRAAS OMG

This fight is stressing me out

Maram being concerned about Aghraas and her accommodations is TRUE LOVE

SHE TRIED APPLYING HENNA MY HEART CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE

I love I’timad

Fuck yhe Garda, fuck the Vath, fuck Mathis, fuck it, I’m crying

THE LAST THING I EXPECTED IS FOR BAKHOOR TO MAKE ME TEAR UP, WHAT IS THIS, SOMAIYA? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

Maram and Aghraas

The moonlight scene left my breath short

*lump forming in my throat* DAmMiT

Rabi’a is me, I am Rabi’a

Maram is ripping through Nadine and this is my favorite funny part of this book

MARAM AND HER GRANDMOTHER ARE GIVING ME ALL THE FEELS

HERE IT IS!!

ARINAAS AND AGHRAAS FINALLY MET! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER

Furat and Maram coming together just made my day

Amani promised herself to get her Daan back once this is over and you can’t imagine how much I’ve wondered about this and I FINALLY HAVE MY ANSWER

My nerves are on edge PLEASE BE SAFE

The Tazalghit women deserve a spin off

AGHRAAS
Mice and foul for real

MARAM AND AGHRAAS ARE MY Q U E E N S

No

MY HEART IS SWOLLEN WITH PRIDE OH GOD

I’m so close to crying I’m trying so hard to look up and blink so tears don’t fall but IT’S TOO EMOTIONAL I CAN’T STAND THIS

Omg I forgot this bitch existed. AT LEAST MARAM IS KEEPING AN EYE OUT

I declare from this platform, that I would willingly die for Maram and Aghraas
