The Ashfire King returns to the magical world of The Stardust Thief. Loulie and Mazen are trapped in the realm of the djinn and returning to the surface world will require all their wits and magic. Aisha must reckon with Omar’s treachery and choose how she will deal with the magic keeping her alive. Loulie, Mazen, and Aisha must decide how far they will go to save the world.
The Ashfire King is action-packed and bursting with stories. I loved the standalone tales that were woven into the original story. I especially enjoyed the stories of the marid and the nautical adventures on the Sandsea. The Ashfire King is full of imaginative magic and epic tales. I struggled a bit with the pace at times, but am excited to see how the adventure concludes (especially Aisha’s story!).
