I was stunned by events more than once by this delightfully complex story. A lot of loose threads from the previous two books were picked up again and explored further and woven together into a fascinating tapestry.
The world building in this series is complex and rich, the most thorough I've read in a very long time.

This is a story about how love and belief can blind us, and even though this was obviously mostly a fictional world, I could relate it all too well to the reality of our world.
Very well done series and characters, it kept me on my toes and I just kept praying everything would be okay when I couldn't think of a way out.

All the characters arcs complete and in such satisfying ways. And not to mention even the marid and shaffit got their dues. I was so surprised by Dara's ending and the alternate epilogue gave me such joy.
I love this trilogy.

It’s been quite the ride, I will say. The length of the book was daunting, and took me a bit to get through, but god am I glad that I did.
I do think this book was the best end to the trilogy, jam packed with twists and turns, action, heartache; never a dull moment, easily. I have so much love for some of the characters, that it hurts to say goodbye to them/this story. But, again, I am so content with this ending.
S.A. Chakraborty, the person you are to write Middle Eastern fantasy… Chef’s kiss.
