Overall a fairly enjoyable read. I definitely enjoyed and had more interest in some of the characters than others. The book is divided into four parts each focusing on a different woman. Overall the transitions are fairly smooth and blend really well building the world and the story. The transition from part one to part two is the most jarring but honestly, even that one isn't that bad. I will say that at times I felt there was a bit of flowery prose and excessive religious reference and poetic analogies that I'm assuming were meant to heighten the drama and really just seemed over the top and too dramatic with their frequency.

Yael and Aziza were my favorites.
