Really enjoyed the world and the world building but it was kind of hard to understand at times and the magic system is fairly mysterious the whole book. I also had a hard time following the names of people and races but that may be due to listening to the audiobook and many of the terms sound similar tho I’m sure on paper are easier to distinguish. But I am glad I listened to it since it is quite long and I could speed it up. 
I really like that this book was massed in middle eastern culture and folklore which was really interesting since I have not had much exposure to those cultures. 
Overall a very interesting book and the way it ended makes me want to read the next one in the series immediately.
