First book of 2026, though I started it last year. The premise drew me in: a Pakistani version of The Count of Monte Cristo? Yes, please. The narration was well-done for this audiobook and I listened to it within a few days. I don’t consume much fantasy but I liked this one for the most part. There was a “twist” towards the end that I didn’t care much for, felt it unnecessary honestly.
