An engaging story with an intriguing setting: 18th-century central Asia, a hidden city of magical djinn from across Asia and Africa, a collection of cultures and languages with a long history of conflicts and shifting alliances. Nahri, who has spent all of her young life as a human in Cairo, finds herself unexpectedly drawn into the city as a key player. Struggling to understand her place in the midst of intrigue and struggles for power, reliant on an ancient hero and befriended by a royal prince, she must figure out who she is in this strange world. It's a complex world full of complicated characters and relationships, conveyed with deft writing and style. I'm ready for the next installment.
