As a YA librarian at an Arabic school, i am so excited to hand this book out to our older students. There are so many fantasy books that borrow from Christian mythology, and it was about time somebody wrote a book that relied on Arabic mythology. And what a fun read! The characters are delightful, the villains horrifying, and the plot fast moving . I hope there will be a sequel soon! Because I was sad to leave the skin ghuls, lion girl, faulty falcon and most of all the wise, world- weary, funny doctor.
