So, bearing in mind that it was a preview and doesn't tell me the whole story, there was just too much that I didn't like for me to consider reading for myself. I don't know if the author thought they were being clever - to me, it just came across as ordinary. The again, I wasn't exactly up to no bad either. the only folks who beloned in Deadshot after dark were the ones who were up to no good.

It is a mish-mash of trying to write a book seriously, with backstory and history etc.and then the writing itself is just hard to stomach.

The biggest issue I had with this preview (and the reason I wouldn't buy it for myself) is the writing style. The blurb sounded brilliant, the cover is fantastic. But though she’s spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she’d gallop away on mythical horse-or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew. She’s a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can’t shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she’s destined to wind up wed or dead. Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female.Īmani Al’Hiza is all three. Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic. In Traitor to the Throne, the only certainty is that everything will change.(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.) But the longer she remains, the more she questions whether the Sultan is really the villain she’s been told he is, and who’s the real traitor to her sun-bleached, magic-filled homeland.įorget everything you thought you knew about Miraji, about the rebellion, about Djinn and Jin and the Blue-Eyed Bandit. Desperate to uncover the Sultan’s secrets by spying on his court, she tries to forget that Jin disappeared just as she was getting closest to him, and that she’s a prisoner of the enemy.

When Amani finds herself thrust into the epicenter of the regime-the Sultan’s palace-she’s determined to bring the tyrant down. Now she’s fighting to liberate the entire desert nation of Miraji from a bloodthirsty sultan who slew his own father to capture the throne. Gunslinger Amani al'Hiza fled her dead-end hometown on the back of a mythical horse with the mysterious foreigner Jin, seeking only her own freedom.
