A review by whatthelog
Fire Boy by Sami Shah

I loved the world that this book created – this is one of the few fantasies I’ve read that is so clearly placed in a non-Western setting (in this case, it was Karachi). The mythology was based on Islam, and in my mind it was done very cleverly. The best parts were little flash-backs every so often about the djinns. Creepy and mystical, I’ll definitely be picking up the next book in the series.
