Really enjoyed this novella! I love that Arabic terms are used throughout - I'm learning a lot. It feels like the author is intimately familiar with Egypt's geography, history, and language. The author also has such a vivid, lush vision of this steampunk, alternate-history Cairo - it feels like a real place! And Onsi's ramblings of historical details are such a nice addition. Can't wait to read more in the Dead Djinn universe.
