The Pauper Prince and the Eucalyptus Jinn by Usman T. Malik

mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

Beautifully written, evocative, and deep.  Stories within stories: a djinn protecting a princess, a grandfather's early years, and a young Pakistani-American man's (re)discovery of family histories.  A thoughtful blend of myth, mystery, and the complexity of family relationships and identity.
