I was never big on fantasy books but Shameez's storytelling skills had me captivated. She's created an intriguing and magical world with many twists and turns. Despite it being a fantasy book with various elements, I found it to be such an easy and clear read. It touches on all the relatable themes you'll love, like family, friendship, romance — and magic, of course! It's also unexpectedly funny! It's the kind of book I can see being adapted for the screen. Well done Shameez, I'm officially a fantasy reader as I cannot wait for book 2!
