Some of the stories were really lovely, others were kind of meh for me. Giving it 3.5 stars as a middle-of-the-road average.
My favorites were The Congregation, Hurrem and the Djinn, The Jinn Hunter's Apprentice, and Bring Your Own Spoon. The last, I wish I could read a full novel set in its world.

Very underwhelming. Some okay stories but mostly not.
