Brilliant short story! Can't wait to read A Master of Djinn now. The writing is so rich, just want to sink my teeth into a full length novel of it!

Wish it was longer! Loved the writing, but it wasn’t fleshed out enough for my taste. I’m looking forward to reading full-length novels from this author!

 A short adventure and a great introduction to Fatma el-Sha'arawi before reading A Master of Djinn.

Seems like a decent introduction to the world prior to reading the novel
