enjibooks 's review for:
The Amulet of Samarkand
by Jonathan Stroud
Darn it, there's too many patrons at my current library who like scifi/fantasy and are making me aware of more books that I just have to read. Ah, at least they're usually quick reads. In this universe, various countries are run by magicians who get their magical power from djinni. Magicians are no great beings, but petty overlords that think of their djinni slaves as demons, and non-magicians as commoners. As is often the case with fantasy, this trilogy shows some promise in the exploration of class and bigotry.
Read in 2006, listening in 2010 in order to listen to the rest of the trilogy. great to listen to.
