wowzers this book was LONG. It's so intricately done, and the characters really are given their time to shine here, but a lot of the plot intricacies I felt I should have understood completely flew over my head. Though I don't believe that the length was justified and I felt only minorly satisfied at the conclusion (just let Zafira and Nasir have ONE cute moment I'm BEGGING you), it gets a high rating bc there just aren't enough epic fantasy stories out there that capture the lore and culture of the Middle East like this does.
