For anyone wondering if they'll enjoy this series... here's a small list of what makes it so awesome: 
 - The story is set in a desert world 
 - There's magical creatures, and Djinn that make actual appearences and use their magic 
 - There are Demdji (half Djinn) that have magical abilities that vary from shapeshifting to manipulating elements 
 - The MC Amani, is freaking badass and full of girl power 
 - Other stories like myths and legends are woven seamlessly into the main story, that help get better sence of the world building as well as provide information about certain events or characters 
 - There's a genderfluid person represented in the books (how often do you come across that huh? It's awesome) 
 - Izz and Maz; Demdji twins that can shapeshift into any creature. Need I say more? (I love them!) 
 - In book 2 there's politics and scheming 
 - ... JUST READ THE SERIES. IT'S GREAT. 
 small spoiler on book 2 that I want to scream about: 
 ((view spoiler)[ OMG SHIRA. DAMN YOU DID NOT DESERVE ANY OF THIS. YOU WERE SO BRAVE UNTIL THE BITTER END. I SWEAR IF FADI WILL NOT BECOME THE DESTINED SULTAN SHE WISHED FOR I WILL THROW BOOK 3 ACROSS THE ROOM. 
 I did see it coming that Fadi would be a Demdji, but their fate was still awful. I hope he'll grow up to be a happy lil' blue haired fella) (hide spoiler)] 
 Yuo this is my lamr excuse for a review. 
 Yup, yup.
