This book was outstanding. Certainly one of the most beautifully written fantasy novels I've ever read, and the story was incredibly compelling. I loved Alizeh's resiliency and her ability to see the beauty in life despite her heartbreaking past (and present).
I've read several series that included Jinns but always from a villain perspective. This book is the singular exception. The tie-in with other aspects of Persian mythology was fascinating and I cannot wait to continue reading more of this series!
