not jamal being dunya omg 😭 that might be the best part of the book cause the little excerpts where amina and jamal interact are so funny. this book as a whole was very funny, everyone had such character especially amina and i really enjoyed it. i don’t think ive ever read a fantasy book like this so it was very refreshing; there was a lot of religion casually incorporated into it which is usually not a thing but it was different and i liked it. im really intrigued by the magic aspect, especially the peris because the way they live seems to be pretty different from other things ive read? i love that amina is older than most fantasy mcs and also a mum which is so cool!! it took me a little while to read this and i think it could be cut down a little bit but at the same time the descriptions are really engaging so it’s good to have them. yeah big slay
