I really enjoyed this book a lot. Especially the second half of the book once everything started to happen.
Beautiful worldbuilding, magic system, characters and plot! And a little bit of romance. There were a few plot twists as well. I really liked the ending and the alternate ending as well. 

All in all a good series filled with magic, djinns, politics and different cultures set in a beautiful world with great characters. If you like those things I highly recommend reading this series!
