So disappointed that I didn't really enjoy this, because I've liked everything else I've read in this world. The worldbuilding is incredible, but there are way too much descriptions that halt the plot and it feels like you're not really moving forward.
Fatma and Hadia are also not very good investigators, which makes progress on the mystery aspect very slow, even when the criminal was obvious less than half way through. Overall, not for me, but I'm clearly in the minority. Back to reading the short stories again!
