Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit for my free copy of this book. 

Loulie, Mazen, and Rijah have made it to the realm of the jinn. On the run from Omar, they thought they would find sanctuary there, a place to regroup and make a plan to save their friends Qadir and Aisha. But instead they find the jinn realm in turmoil. It is slowly collapsing beneath the Sandsea. On one side you have a queen trying to saving the kingdom by protecting the bindings. In the other a pirate who wants them destroyed to bring the world back to the surface. The only one who can break them is Loulie. Her and Mazen will have to decide what side to be on. Their adventure is just beginning. 

This has been a long awaited sequel for a book I loved! The world building is fantastic and I was excited that this book went into the jinn realm. Learning more about the world made for a dynamic book. The book is told from three POVs which for me makes it better storytelling, especially when characters are not together. This was a great follow up and the ending was so good and I canโ€™t wait for the third book!
