By far the most recent book I've read, and my favorite of the year so far! For fans of City of Brass and We Hunt the Flame, this 1001 Nights-inspired tale brings action, a platonic love for the ages, and plenty of jinn to keep you up at night. The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah was everything I wanted out of a Middle Eastern fantasy and I L O V E D it.

*By the way the word I was trying to say at the end there was perspicacious.
