If Iran was like Enchanted (the movie). 
Women are things, on this one. My feminist heart screamed many times over the sexism and brutalism men in this fantasy world treated women. 
The plot was obvious to me from the start, the villain mechanics, and all the magical plot points, but it didn't bother me because I was so invested in Sophie's, our main girl, journey and eventual win. 

The romance felt rushed but I was happy for a black queer character to find her happiness so I was totally ok with that as well.
