A breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre

This book is fantastic. I love desert settings in fantasy, and Ahmed does an incredible job worldbuilding this one. The main cast of characters is likeable and diverse, the writing is engaging, and the plot is gripping from the beginning to the end. I’m so sad that the other books in the trilogy are taking so long to come out, because I can’t wait to read more!
