Although the story had some good build up and a solid basis in reality for the magical component of the djinn, it ultimately felt unfinished with how it resolved. And I wasn't fond of how the at that point oft-mentioned girlfriend only got a few lines of dialogue when a call finally happened near the end. It sounds like it implied the protagonist would end up abandoning her completely for the foisted-upon quest that trailed off into vague nothingness on the last page.
