★ "Once again Abdullah deftly conjures magic." ―Library Journal (starred review)

Neither here nor there, but long ago…

After fleeing a patricidal prince, legendary merchant Loulie al-Nazari and banished prince Mazen bin Malik find themselves in the realm of jinn. But instead of sanctuary, they find a world on the cusp of collapse.

The jinn cities, long sheltered beneath the Sandsea by the magic of its kings, are sinking. Amid the turmoil, political alliances are forming, and rebellion is on the rise. When Loulie assists a dissenter—one of her bodyguard’s old comrades—she puts herself in the center of a centuries-old war.

Trapped in a world that isn’t her own and wielding magic that belongs to a fallen king, Loulie must decide: Will she carry on someone else’s legacy or carve out her own?

A Very Good Sophomore Effort

I really enjoyed this second installment, even though it was stodgy in places, it was fantastic nonetheless. Long live Aisha!

A tale of adventure, magic and fun!

This was SO good, and SO fun!!! I enjoyed this one SO much, even though it's been years since I read the first novel. I really enjoy the characters, and their development and growth was done in such a fun way. Every time our three main narrators switched POVs, I was bummed because it cut off right at the good part every time!! This one was fast paced and full of magic and mayhem. I think this trilogy is gonna have a special place on my shelf.

I can't wait for the conclusion!

Even more action than book one!

Holy cow! This book never lets up. It’s one crisis after another. I actually had to take a break for a day because it was so exhausting. But in a good way!

So many amazing scenes, so many things happening. The events in the Djinn world were spectacular, literally. Magical creatures, magical events, magical buildings, magical ships. Truly fantastical! I’m so impressed with the world building in this series!

I did get a little lost in trying to figure out who was mad at whom and who was double-crossing whom, and I’m still not 100% sure what the “bindings” were, exactly. But that’s probably just my failings. I have a bit of brain fog from chronic illnesses. Suffice it to say there is a LOT happening in this book!

And the ending!! 😱 Can’t believe I have to wait so long for book 3.

If you’re looking for an amazing story with incredible world building and nonstop action, this book (and series) is for you!

incredible sequel

Really wonderful second book to an already amazing first book. Highly recommend. can't wait for the next one.

Engaging and fast paced follow up.

Can’t wait for book 3. This was a great expansion on the world building, the lore and the characters. I listened to this in a week. Loved it. Already miss spending time in the jinn world
