Wowwwwww. Now this guy can write women, and let them be powerful ass lesbians at the same time!!! This took me forever to read, but it was worth it. The mystery, the characters, the world, having romance as a side-plot, all made for a truly wonderful read. Also I’m very much in love with Siti 🤭 she has CLAWS COME ON

I loved the world building, but there were times where the dialogue jolted between something that fit the setting and something out of the modern day, which I found very jarring. I also struggle to see the appeal of Fatma as a main character. Her main character traits are that she's the first woman agent, she loves suits, and she loves Siti. I was also frustrated by how the incredibly cold and calculating villain devolved into standard Scooby-Doo monologuing as soon as they were found out. It's like all their skill went out the door. 

I really liked Hadia though and would read more adventures to learn about her.

Such a fun listen on audiobook! Suehyla El-Attar was a delightful narrator and I loved hearing their improvement throughout the book! Super fun characters and worldbuilding with many moments that had me on the edge of my seat. Some plot moments/reveals could have had more buildup. Also, I could deduce certain parts of the mystery long before the characters themselves which confused me a bit.
