Wow, what a ride!
It was so fun to dive into Arabian mythology, but it was a little hard to keep track of all the names and peoples and creatures (and I only discovered the glossary after finishing reading it…).
I really liked the introduction of the whole magical world, and even though the protagonist is rather young, it didn‘t have this school-like feel. To the end it gets very dark and brutal, so watch out for that, but otherwise it‘s just really captivating and intriguing!
