What can I say about this amazing book? I love reading so much and here we go!
First, this is my first time reading M.T. Khan's book and yeah... it's been so long since I've read middle grade. I love that the language is really suitable for beginner in learning English (even though I'm not a beginner~)
But, when I saw the pretty cover for Nura and the Immortal Palace, I already have a feeling that this book will gonna be a masterpiece of middle grade book. The worldbuilding is kinda new for me, but it was interesting to make me also join the adventure with Nura and her friends!
And oh! I also love The Demiurge or The Craftsman. He has a golden heart! Thank you for a beautiful, heartwarming and lovely middle grade story, Maeeda! What a new experience for Young Adult/New Adult enjoyer like me!

Twelve-year-old Nura works long hours in a mica mine. Determined to find a legendary treasure known as "The Demon's Tongue" to help her family out of poverty, she causes a cave-in, resulting in several deaths. Nura, determined to save her friend, lands through a portal in the world of the jinn. Will Nura be able to save herself and her friend?
The writing in Nura and the Immortal Palace is magical. The author describes the setting so vividly, we can imagine ourselves there. The world is glamorous and captivating.
I love the way this book addresses child labor and the importance of education. The author combines these important issues in a middle grade fantasy book with engaging characters.
The world building is simply magical and easily transports the reader into the book. The atmosphere is colorful yet dark and feels like a story I would have loved to read as a child.
Overall, Nura and the Immortal Palace is an impressive middle grade fantasy that takes you on a dark adventure, reflecting of important real world issues.
If you like Ghibli vibes, a dark and twisted portal world, and a fierce protagonist, you need to read it!
CW: child labor, grief, parental death (off the page), fire.
