    "so that you always remember your place."

    I love the contrast between Agent Hamed and Agent Onsi. Onsi may be a bit naive about agency affairs and can be unprofessional, but his open-mindedness, fascination with history and other cultures and quick thinking have made him much more useful on this case than Hamed’s more traditional approach. Hamed’s experience is absolutely still useful, but it all makes for really amazing characterization!

  • Potential addition? ☕️

    Not sure if this is the correct place to put recs but I think Kit & Basie by Tess Carletta could be a good fit for this shelf. Embodies cosiness and has magic and whimsy!

    Just finished reading Chai and Charmcraft by Lynn Strong and offering it to be considered for this quest! It’s an M/M Middle Eastern inspired cozy fantasy with a strong found family vibe as well as a very sweet romance with an older plus sized MMC. 🥰 o

    Really enjoyed this introduction to the Dead Djinn Universe. There's quite a bit of world building so it took me a second to get my bearings, but once I did it was really smooth sailing with a very interesting storyline and premise. It is short so of course I didn't get everything that I wanted, but I felt like it was a great taste of what is to come, and I thought the structure was solid to introduce characters and concepts, and the story ended in a very reasonable spot. It was definitely simplified with some plot elements that don't hold up to too much scrutiny, but for a short story that serves as a prequel I won't look all that closely and will appreciate it more for what it was (an introduction) and serving that task well.
