Maija Ibrahim píše pre mladých dospelých čitateľov a jej práca sa zameriava predovšetkým na tvorbu komplexných magických systémov a svetov, ktoré sú inšpirované jej rodinou a osobnými záujmami. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje plynulým rozprávaním a hlbokým ponorením do postáv a ich motivácií. Ibrahim sa sústreďuje na skúmanie zložitých, často nejasných hraníc medzi dobrom a zlom, ako aj na silu rodinných pút a dedičstva.
