The Ashfire King (The Sandsea Trilogy, 2)

Description

“Neither here nor there, but not so long ago,” the Midnight Merchant, Loulie, and Prince Mazen flee to the land of the jinn to escape Mazen’s murderous brother, Omar. What they come to discover is that the jinn cities are sinking further into the Sandsea. A civil war is forming as the jinn attempt to save their land, with Loulie and Mazen caught in the middle. The Ashfire King and his six companions were the ones to sink the jinn realm in the first place to save it from humans, but it might be humans who have to bring it back to the surface to save the jinn.

I waited four years for this book to come out, and I sincerely hope I don’t have to wait another four for the last book in this incredible series. Abdullah weaves her tales like a master storyteller, always leaving you wanting more. You can’t help but be transported to this magical realm, making you feel like you are a part of the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially fans of Katherine Arden or One Thousand and One Nights.
