I chose to pre-order the audiobook as they did a marvelous job with different narrators for our trio of characters, but I will need to get a print copy and re-read it before book two comes out. Still, again this is a trilogy, so we are setting the stage, so I hope to get deeper into these characters as the story progresses to books two and three. For a debut, Adult fantasy story, I mainly saw the lack of deep character development. The Stardust Thief is your story if you love storytelling within a story, monsters that can befriend or foe, and Arab folklore. If you are looking for a book with sweeping, epic action scenes and incredible magic, you will love The Stardust Thief.

The Stardust Thief is one of my most anticipated reads of 2022 it is an inspiring tale of adventure with a mix of stories from Arabian nights. And, in a world where story is reality and illusion is truth, Loulie will discover that everything-her enemy, her magic, even her own past-is not what it seems, and she must decide who she will become in this new reality. Aided by her bodyguard, who has secrets of his own, they must survive ghoul attacks, outwit a vengeful jinn queen, and confront a malicious killer from Loulie's past. With no choice but to obey or be executed, Loulie journeys with the sultan's oldest son to find the artifact. When she saves the life of a cowardly prince, she draws the attention of his powerful father, the sultan, who blackmails her into finding an ancient lamp that has the power to revive the barren land-at the cost of sacrificing all jinn. Loulie al-Nazari is the Midnight Merchant: a criminal who, with the help of her jinn bodyguard, hunts and sells illegal magic.

Inspired by stories from One Thousand and One Nights, this book weaves together the gripping tale of a legendary smuggler, a cowardly prince, and a dangerous quest across the desert to find a legendary, magical lamp.
