This was funny. I liked Despina and her snarky banter with Jalal. Particularly when she tells him she can ask him one question about women he can't answer. And then asks him to tell her, her name. LMFAO. The romance between them was pretty lighthearted without any particular depth. The ending was kind of abrupt though. 3 stars. ( )

Aaaaaw, my heart 💜💜💜
I want a whole book about Jalal and Despina, kthnxbye ♡ ( )

I was a huge fan of Jalal in the books and was very interested in knowing more about his relationship with Despina. So, I have to say that I am surprised that the author has been able to convey so many feelings in such a short story. The light hearted moments, the blossoming of love and the circumstances in which they get together are so beautifully written that I just wanted to read more. I just wish that Renee Ahdieh never writes short stories because even though the too few pages convey all the feelings, its just not enough to satisfy my heart. ( )

Hier geht es um Despina, die Dienerin der neuen Königin .. Doch jemand, nämlich Jalal, der General der Staatswache, verdreht ihr gehörig den Kopf... ( )

I love Jalal even more.. ( )
