Exploring The Garden

I am on Book 1 named The Garden I have read the first three chapters in this part of the novel and it has been interesting. James had met Materia, they were forbidden to see eachother but then got married. I think everything that is going on in this story reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo meets Juliet they fall in love, they are forbidden to see eachother etc. Though what is different from Romeo and Juliet is that Mr Mahmoud allows them to get married as long as he converts to Christianity. I think that James and Materia will go far together since they are now living together in their dream home.
