The Bloodprint: Book One of the Khorasan Archives by Ausma Zehanat Khan

4.0

This book was great. I loved that it was a scifi/fantasy based in Middle Eastern culture (rather than European). I struggled a bit at times because I was listening to an audiobook. The narration was lovely, but the pronunciation of words influenced by Middle Eastern languages was a bit off, so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the author meant by certain terms. I also spent the first half of the book trying to figure out if the Talisman (the bad guys) were meant to be some kind of symbolic analogue of the Taliban, but I think I was reading too much into it.

tl;dr: Fabulous; I overthought it a bit.
