I think I'd love this if I could stand steampunk. The setting was great, the writing fantastic, I don't care for the steampunk, but I enjoyed the plot nonetheless.
I really did hate the whorephobia though, stop shitting on sex workers you assholes.

The setting, the intricacy of the world-building, the characters, the lore - this was so interesting and enjoyable, I loved everything about it! 😍
Plus, Suehyla El-Attar's narration elevated this to being an easy favourite.
So glad that there's more from this universe left for me to explore!

I was very excited for this as I love djinn folklore, but the steampunk setting didn’t do it for me. I found the resolution predictable and underwhelming.
