3.0
I feel a bit weird marking this is "read", as I only completed P. Djeli Clark's story: "Skin Magic", which I technically read and listened to through Realm.FM. But I did not have any other way to track my reading as there is not a standalone version of this story that I could find on storygraph. The 3 star rating is specifically for this story. But I digress.
I enjoyed my time reading this story, though it was clear to me that this was one of his earlier works. Which is not a bad thing since P. Djeli Clark is quite a talented writer in my opinion. I just wanted more from the portals and monsters aspect of the markings on Makami. That only seemed to come together for me at the very end. And also, I would have loved more of Kahya. Her character was intriguing to me. But I recognize that what I am asking for is a novel, and this is intentionally a short story.
I am looking forward to reading more from the author's backlist.
