The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah

salema's review against another edition

I loved everything about this book with the exception of Loulie’s infatuation with Ahmed. The true love story seems to between Louie and Qadir and her ability to long for a relationship with someone she knows would absolutely murder the last family she has left was an odd choice to me. Otherwise I have absolutely no complaints. I can’t wait for the sequel. The characters have all been flushed out nicely and I am interested to see what kind of storyline Hakim gets.

“All we can do is make choices based on the cards fate deals us. But so long as fate allows me to stay with you, I will not leave you.”

A super-fun and unique fantasy! I loved all the mythology references and I can’t wait for the next one!

A perfect book for someone who grew up hearing mythical stories or has a special place for them and watch it come to life in this amazingly woven tale. There were 3 povs in this book told from a 3rd pov, one of a prince, another of a merchant, and lastly of a thief. All their accounts were interesting and characters that you fall in love with. I loved how we traveled along with the characters to so many different places and each place brought a mythical creature to life. This book is filled with magic, friendship, betrayal, love, pain, and every other emotion you can think of. I lovedddd the book and cannot wait for the next one to come.

This book was fun and I really felt transported by the middle eastern setting which Abdullah brings to life with vivid descriptions and interjections of Arabic.
