I have always been interested into stories that feature djinns and take place in sandy environments.

Now finally, I made it to this trilogy.

Loved to go to Daevabad and discover the many layers of the city and its inhabitants.

Was at the beginning rather lost with all the specific names and concepts that were thrown at me. After a while the story took over and it became a read that just wanted to be finished.

Now, I am curious to see how the story continues.
