Finished "A Master of Djinn" by P. Djèlí Clark. This one came up in discussion with the book club at work. I wasn't able to attend the meeting where they discussed it, though. It's about 1912 Cairo in a world where magic is real and djinn have returned to Egypt. Fatma el-Sha’arawi works for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, and is investigating a murder.
For my take, it was mostly good, with interesting characters in a well fleshed-out world. Not all the writing was as interesting, and in a few places I was a bit disappointed by the story progression. But I would put this in the "liked it" category. What is that, 3 1/2 stars? If I had to pick 3 or 4, I would go with 3.
