A Master of Djinn

Read the German translation.

Really enjoyed reading this book. Cool characters, nice overall story arc, some plot twists/revelations that felt good and generally a very cool setting.

Didn't like some of the "crowd manipulations" which felt a bit superficial.

I really recommend to read some of the shorter stories in the universe before. They are a neat introduction into a setting and some characters that can feel a bit overwhelming.

Loved the world setting and intensity of the determined women leads in an epic murder-magic-catastrophe, though the whodunnit procedural hunt for obscured informants plodded some for me.

This was a great read. A dapper lesbian investigates a murder in a Cairo where magic and mythic creatures have returned. The world building is great and the characters are engaging.
