 What a refreshing new short story! Absolutely loved Fatma's character as the suit wearing female detective and the intermixing of mythical characters like Djinns, Iftars, Angels and Ghuls with steampunk science such as machines and robots and clocks. Can't wait to read more of Fatma's adventures :)
