Discover this spellbinding debut from Sunday Times bestseller, S.A. Chakraborty.
‘An extravagant feast of a book – spicy and bloody, dizzyingly magical, and still, somehow, utterly believable’ Laini Taylor, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author
Among the bustling markets of eighteenth century Cairo, the city’s outcasts eke out a living swindling rich Ottoman nobles and foreign invaders alike.
But alongside this new world the old stories linger. Tales of djinn and spirits. Of cities hidden among the swirling sands of the desert, full of enchantment, desire and riches. Where magic pours down every street, hanging in the air like dust.
Many wish their lives could be filled with such wonder, but not Nahri. She knows the trades she uses to get by are just tricks and sleights of hand: there’s nothing magical about them. She only wishes to one day leave Cairo, but as the saying goes…
Be careful what you wish for.

The first 2/3 of the book was 5/5🌟 but then the end was just chaotic and weird. It was at a completely other pace than the first parts of the book and therefore, unfortunately, brought it down

4,5Efter at have lyttet til alle 3 i serien synes jeg det bestemt var tiden værd. Det er sådan lidt en 1001 nat verden tilsat game of thrones og oplæseren var rigtig dygtig.

Loved the story. Really did. Until the last couple of chapters where the author apparently decided that imitating season 8 of GoT was the best decision.
