Fascinating world building, super cool take on magic and mythology into a gaslamp world. Fatma is clever and fun.

A great introduction to what promises to be a fascinating world! I just wish it wasn't so short, dammit. (That there are more stories in this universe is a soothing fact.) The story made me think I was reading a movie/tv episode only in book format, which was pretty fun.
