A review by trilbynorton
A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark

4.0

Post-colonial fantasy in which creatures from pre-modern folklore have returned to early-20th century Egypt and allowed the country to gain independence from the European empires. Clark weaves issues of feminism, race, and the price of progress into what is essentially a fantasy detective story. His three previous short stories in this universe aren't necessary to understand the novel, but are definitely recommended.
