Fatima lives in the city of Noor, a thriving stop along the Silk Road. There the music of myriad languages fills the air, and people of all faiths weave their lives together. However, the city bears scars of its recent past, when the chaotic tribe of Shayateen djinn slaughtered its entire population - except for Fatima and two other humans. Now ruled by a new maharajah, Noor is protected from the Shayateen by the Ifrit, djinn of order and reason, and by their commander, Zulfikar. But when one of the most potent of the Ifrit dies, Fatima is changed in ways she cannot fathom....

Disappointed.

It’s not that the narrator hasn’t tried to give this work decent effort. But as a south Asian descent American, many of the important cross cultural words are completely mispronounced and ruining the story’s prolific “otherworldly” and culturally stimulating effect. Words like Kaaba and beta are mispronounced, amongst others. I had to cringe a few times as these words repeatedly get mispronounced. Just wondering why scholastic publishing didn’t just use a narrator familiar with the arabic/Hindi/Urdu language words used or at least cross reference with the author to ensure accuracy. I’ll have to download the kindle, the audible is just not cutting it for me. But I suppose someone unfamiliar with this culture might never notice and enjoy this rendition.
