What an amazing story!  I found this book to be so very atmospheric.  I could feel the sand and the heat as I read.  The characters are amazing and very diverse.  I wasn't a huge fan of the Salt King, he treated his daughters so despicably.  Pretty much as a means to an end - selling them off for men's pleasure.  Emel is a fierce woman, a dreamer, and unfortunately the Kings daughter.  When she accidently stumbled across her dad's favorite bauble she finds out his power comes from a jinni.  Saleem and her have an automatic connection that I loved watching grow.  As the story sews itself together, everything starts to add up.  A phenomenal story and can't wait to dive into the next one.
