A lot just seemed strange and unrealistic to me like the thing with Abdullah randomly taking another wife! It bothers me those kind of motivations were never really answered. Same with Rosalie's character.

But your review has changed my mind. I'm going to take a look when it comes out and probably work it into my reading.
