Great new fantasy novel despite the errors in online store’s description of it.
December 5, 2017
For fans of mythology, fantasy, and historical fiction, this is a great read. It took me awhile to get into it fully because I’m not a big fan of action packed road trips (which made up a fair sized portion of the beginning of the book), but once the story got to where it was going and the two pov characters met, I became hooked. However, unlike in the summery online store gives for this novel, the Suleiman mentioned is not Sultan Suleiman I “the Magnificent” of the Ottoman Empire, but the prophet Suleiman, also known as Solomon. As disappointed as I was to figure this out, and no matter how little it related to “A Song of Ice and Fire”/”Game of Thrones,” also unlike their description, it was a very enjoyable read and I found I couldn’t put it down once I was about a third of the way through. Chakraborty makes the world she writes about come alive with a well fleshed out fictional history of the civilization and characters she created, and the political intrigues running through the book make each chapter ending a true cliffhanger.

Deeply impressive debut novel. Djinn, Ifrit and Marids, oh my!
December 30, 2017
What a fantastic debut novel. I expect this will be on many awards lists next year. I will certainly nominate it.
Two things really leap out at me. First, the world-building is superb. The author is very good at showing, not telling, and there is a lot of mystery hinted as there is a great deal the characters themselves do not know about how the world works. It seems marids are as mysterious to djinn as djinn initially are to the reader. I am really looking forward to learning more in the next book. The Arabian Nights sort of setting is relatively uncommon in fantasy literature, and it’s nice to see more writing in that area (a tip of the hat here to Saladin Ahmed’s Throne of the Crescent Moon).
Second, the characters are fascinating and sympathetic. This is particularly noteworthy as many of the characters are at odds with one another, yet I sympathized with each of them, even when they were in direct conflict! These are complicated, deeply human (in the emotional sense – they are nominally a variety of fantasy races) characters with strengths and weaknesses. They make mistakes, and their current states reflect that, but in each case you can understand why they did what they did. There is one scene where two of the main characters are doing their level best to kill one another. I loved both characters, and couldn’t really say that either was in the wrong. That’s a difficult task for a novelist to pull off, and a great achievement for a debut novel.

Underwhelming
November 11, 2018
I was really intrigued by the concept of this book, but ultimately underwhelmed. It felt long, but like not much happened. Most of the time it felt like characters were just explaining things to each other for the whole book – meanwhile, not much was going on in terms of plot. There was a 50 or so page section at the end that got more interesting, but then nothing was resolved and instead the ending felt like more set up for the second book in this trilogy. I didn’t end up caring much about any of the characters and I didn’t think the author was very good at setting the scene and describing what was going on in a way that I could visualise. Overall, disappointing and I won’t be reading the second part of this trilogy.

Stoops to infuriatingly played-out tropes
June 23, 2019
I wanted to love this book. I love fantasy as a genre and was excited for one based on middle eastern culture. Unfortunately, this book lacks a plot whatsoever.
The trope of a young woman with powers and background she doesn’t understand, surrounded by powerful people (mostly men) who refuse to tell her everything she should know because they “know better” than her, is infuriating. It makes my blood boil.
How much more interesting would this story have been if the protagonist was given all pertinent information and we got to watch her – a girl who raises herself on the streets – navigate this rife and dangerous political landscape?
That brings me to my next point – there is no plot. There is a beginning. And the book ends somewhere in the middle. That’s it. We didn’t see the female lead overcome anything, we didn’t see the male lead overcome anything. In fact, they are worse off than they started. I understand this is a trilogy but each book should be able to stand alone as a story and this is unfinished- an absolute atrocity considering its length. Given the reviews for the second book, I understand it ends in a major cliffhanger. Another sign of poor execution by a novice author.
Don’t even get me started on Dara. The “romance” felt tacked on and cheap. In fact, if that had been left out, the last few chapters would have felt more authentic to his character. But we are supposed to sympathize with him and I just didn’t. Ali was boring and I skimmed most of his chapters but I see that as a better romantic match (and friendship).
I plan to wait for the third book to drop and base my decision to continue this series on the reviews for the whole trilogy. But I am disappointed that a premise with such promise was so poorly executed.
