I was not expecting this book to be an absolute RIDE! It combined all my favorite things from previous desert-themed books like The Wrath and the Dawn, We Hunt the Flame, and Rebel of the Sands. It has many stories from One Thousand and One Nights, tons of jinn, magic and relics, and an intriguing quest full of hidden identity, secret politics, and desert traveling. The characters are magnificent and truly have a lot of growth through the book. Although there's no romance in this one, I have very high hopes that this book sets up the stage for a fantastic romance in book two. And the writing was superb: detailed and flowing and easy to get lost in.
Honestly I expect this book to be a huge hit once it releases. I can't wait to read books two and three! Definitely pick this up if you want a sweeping desert fantasy with jinn magic and fantastic characters and world building.
