Status Updates From The Stardust Thief. Il ladr...

the compass is indeed a RELIC to which contains LIFE. and there are visions as to where a jinn woman is sacrificing a life for a “he” i wonder if said he is Qadir & the woman was a jinn that has sum to do with him?? so many things are popping up but my girl Loulie is manhandled by a possessed Ahmed so now i’m kinda worried yall

so The Queen of Dunes is simply one of the seven jinn kings who takes root/form of a queen who lures people in so that it can spread its powers and be free to roam in the human lands? this gets interesting y’all. i love that the dessert aren’t just dessert & in the process of making way to Dhyme, there’s an obstacle for Loulie, Mazen, and Aisha to face. Qadir too but he’s not entranced into the lair is he?LOL

the coincidence that Omar just so happened to not want to travel with Loulie is astounding actually. i’m so glad he does not take up on the offer bcs lord knows what danger could come for Qadir & it’s fitting that Mazen is finally able to venture out of the kingdom. Mazen’s character growth is one i’ll be anticipating for in the coming pages, book is slowly coming together! we’re going it this step by step

still a short stick into the book! but it is gonna be exciting to figure out how Loulie will end up getting “blackmailed” by the Sultan to eventually find that ancient lamp. oh and that Mazen is possessed by the jinn that followed him & is now threatening Omar. Omar is pretty tricky to crack, idk if he’s just conniving or completely evil beneath. hopefully Mazen gets wiser as the book progresses tho
