The Ashfire King is the long-awaited sequel to The Stardust Thief.
The plot picks up where it left off with Mazen and Loulie stuck in the jinn realm.
Since it’s been years since I read the first book, I forgot virtually everything that happened, but thankfully, the author provided a detailed summary that helped jog my memory.
The pacing is well-balanced, with the action picking up in the second half. The characters go on quite the swashbuckling adventures.
The writing and world-building are as captivating as the first book. I could easily imagine this series as being adapted for the big screen.
They were brief, but the tales throughout were amazingly told.
We follow the same three characters: Loulie, Aisha, and Mazen. They all have great character arcs, but Aisha remains my favourite.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Expected Publication: 15 April 2025
