The audiobook version was a delight. I was disappointed mid-read to realize this is part of a trilogy and, at this time, the only book that’s out. Other than that I can absolutely say that my beginning assumptions were only sometimes right. I did wish that the Djinn featured more heavily, but maybe in future books?
