    Thoughts from 0.01% - Prequels

    If anyone is interested in reading the short story prequels, I stumbled across them in these places!

    #0.1 A Dead Djinn in Cairo - free on Reactor: https://reactormag.com/read-p-djeli-clarks-a-dead-djinn-in-cairo/

    #0.2 The Angel of Khan el-Khalili - free on Reactor: https://reactormag.com/the-angel-of-khan-el-khalili-p-djeli-clark/

    #0.3 The Haunting of Tram Car 015 - Reactor only has an excerpt but looks like the audiobook is included on Spotify if you have premium!

    Wow this might have been the best of the prequels so far. The highest point was absolutely how well done the last quarter was; I was completely and totally absorbed into the action as the story hit its climax and resolved; it was unexpected and it was incredibly satisfying. The strength of women in community was also incredibly done, I really loved how heavily and respectfully women were featured in a story with two male protagonists. Got some fun queer rep thrown in there too. I also really like how the world building has developed to this point, and all the philosophical and moral and political themes becoming more pronounced. ANDDDD I can totally see the prequels start connecting, my guess is that those connections will properly manifest in the first full-length novel coming up next, I definitely have my theories and I'm excited to see if they pan out!
