A review by bel017
A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark
Loved the world building and characters, didn't love the (repetitive) stating of the obvious, or the plot. (Initially I didn't like Hadida but realised that was because she got lumped with 'stating the obvious' job the most, once I ignored all those comments she improved). The drawing out of the plot hinged on internalised sexism , which is a trope that deeply irritates me, and I just didn't buy that from Fatma.
Graphic: Violence
Moderate: Colonisation
Minor: Body horror
