    Not sure how it will tie with the main story, and it's too short to even form a proper opinion, but there're some nice ideas here. The use of the 2nd person felt powerful and personal. What I liked most about this short novel is getting confirmation that the faux angels are indeed not as angelic as they claim to be. There’s some food for thought between the angel’s and the FMC’s conversations.

    For such a short story, A Dead Djinn in Cairo has a fascinating world-building, which makes me instantly want to know more about this alternative steampunk Cairo where djinns and faux angels exist. The detective mystery was simple but still entertaining, perfect to introduce all the basic elements and characters. I look forward to reading more about Fatma and Siri. And the angels!
