(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
In A Master of Djinn I was swept away from the beginning. Talk about an action packed murder mystery with plenty of the supernatural. The setting is one of the most atmospheric, descriptive, and immersive of my recent fantasy reads. It has a lived in feel and while there are so many revelations - and promising dark corners - it never feels incomplete or shallow. There's always this intriguing hint of more, of a past before the pages. While this could be read alone, do yourself the favor and read The Haunting of Tram Car at least!
A Master of Djinn was a delightful surprise from start to finish. Featuring a well dressed queer woman of color, my heart was smitten. Not only did this murder adventure feature a sapphic romance, it also featured a lone wolf type who needs to learn to play nice with others and is stuck with a crime solving partner. Talk about giving me all the vibes I love from these crime media - I love that brilliant and renowned detective who is stuck with a partner.
