Fatima is a royal concubine in the royal court of Granda, the last
emirate of Muslim Spain. Hassan, her best friend, is the palace
mapmaker. Hassan has the power to draw maps of places he has never seen
and bend the shape of reality. When representatives from the Spanish
monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan's surrender, Fatima becomes friends with one of the women, Luz. However, she
didn't realize that Luz will see Hassan's gift as a threat. Fearing for
their lives, Fatima and Hassan escape the palace. Will Fatima and
Hassan be able to escape Luz?
At first, I thought this novel was going to be a historical
fiction novel but, it slowly became a fantasy novel instead. The novel
was written beautifully in the beginning but halfway in the book, I
started losing interest in the book. I felt like the story was a bit
slow and boring. I found the parts with Vikram, the jinn to be the most
interesting part of the story. After finishing more than 75% of the
book, I lost interest in the book and couldn't finish it.
