David Bremner reviewed A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark (Dead Djinn Universe, #1)
Perfect to read on a boat in Egypt
4 étoiles
I read two shorter works set in the same universe first, so I knew what to expect, more or less. As a mystery novel, the book is good, but maybe a bit less surprising than the author intended. I did really enjoy the setting, perhaps because I was somewhere where I could hear Arabic spoken all around me. And of course anything that makes fun of the (fallen) British Empire has my sympathies.
