Another interesting short story from the Dead Djinn universe. Too short for me to feel much of an impact unfortunately ( just like its predecessor ), but I think it's well-written and packs enough details considering its length. Interesting choice to use second person pov as well, which worked just fine. However, I still find the actual setting more intriguing than anything else.

A really atmospheric short story, I highly recommend the audio version read by LeVar Burton

I really liked the world building in this short story. Even though the twist in this was predicable, I still enjoyed this story.

Writing from the second person view was very interesting and well-done! The story was short but it still made me quite emotional. Enjoyed more than the first short story and excited to dive into the main book.
