Just excellent!! A great, epic tale with great characters, and a very interesting world and magic. I loved the Arabian landscape of it too. Can't wait for the next book!

While some aspects were interesting the story itself dragged. The pacing was painfully slow and then at the end there was an influx of revelations. I would have liked less repetitive travel sequences and more of Omar's point of view.

Damn this book started off so slow but then the pace picked up and everything went to hell. One thing I loved was that the characters weren’t hardened soldiers like most fantasy books make them out to be but were flawed and soft and had a heart. Mazen’s character especially was so refreshing to read because you could see the growth of his character throughout the book. Overall, cannot wait for the second book because I need to know what happens after that ending omg.

I really enjoyed this book. It had action after action and it was very difficult to put the book down. However the last 150 pages, I was ready for the story to end. Seemed like it took way too long, therfore the 4.5 star rating. Also, I heard this book was already written..City of Brass, so that book may be even better than this one.
