This is the second time I'm asking you a question and sorry if I'm bothering you but- I put the world of the book on like a map of our work and I figured Amani and Ahmed and Shahzad and them lot are from like the middle east and I'm guessing Sam's British but I cant seem to figure out where Jin would be from. So where would he be from? I love your books and can't wait for anything new you write!

You are not bothering me at all! Don't worry :-)
So yes, if we were drawing real world parallels, geographically and ethnically, Miraji resembles the Arabian Penninsula. And Albis would be the British Isles, Gallandie would be France. Espa would be spain. Gammanix would be equivalent to Germany. And Xicha, where Jin's mother is from, would correspond to East Asia. Though, ethnically speaking Jin is also half Mirajin :-)

OMG I can't believe I'm doing this but I absolutely LOVE your books I've read them all as soon and they came out and I'm dying now the last one is over but I got some burning questions I gotta ask- Did Shahzad get with Ahmed and did Amani and Jin ever have kids? You're literally THE BEST AUTHOR EVER and the last book was the best thing ever!
