An excellent beginning to an intriguing series, perfect for fans of historical fantasy series. I was fond of the integration of the Islamic creation myth into the mythology of the series, with the splitting of the two kingdoms, the Jinn and the Clay (humans).

The ending was a jawdropper and I long to read more!
