I read the first couple of chapters and did not understand anything that was going on. This is a DNF for me. I will not leave reviews elsewhere.

Get ready to be swept away by a mesmerizing tale of adventure, intrigue, and self-discovery! In a world where spice is power and freedom comes at a steep cost, Amir's journey will captivate and inspire you. With a richly woven narrative, this book masterfully explores the complexities of power dynamics, addiction, and the human spirit. I was particularly struck by the way the author wove themes of social justice and resistance into the story, making it a thought-provoking and timely read. You'll be drawn to the vivid characters, heart-pumping action, and mythical world-building that will leave you breathless. This story has it all: gods, assassins, throne-keepers, and slaves, all vying for control in a world where the spice trade holds the keys to power. Amir's transformation from a downtrodden Spice Carrier to a hero who must choose what kind of world he wants to live in will leave you cheering. I loved how the book kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. Do yourself a favor and dive into this epic tale – your imagination will thank you!
