4.5 stars⁣

Why isn't this author more popular?⁣
I am so confused.⁣
His prose was beautiful.< I am in love with how he writes. Sure, it challenged my vocabulary a little bit because I am not a native English speaker, but the way he uses words was just plain beautiful and lyrical.⁣
I absolutely loved it.⁣
This book was only 48 pages. 48!!!⁣
Yet it was able to completely emerse me with this steampunk alternate version of Cairo back in 1912.⁣
Supernatural beings walk among mankind, some lived peacefully with men while some wreck havoc.⁣
The pace was fast given it only had 48 pages to tell a story. Some books with 300 pages and more have problems with telling a cohesive story, but A Dead Djinn in Cairo was able to do that wonderfully with such a short page count.⁣
Every page was oozing with awesomness.⁣
Not sure if that's actually a word, but yeah, this was awesome!⁣
The reason why I couldn't give this a full 5 stars was because I feel that the author missed to tell us about a few unfamiliar terms that was used in the story. As the story was set in Egypt, some foreign terms were used that were never really elaborated on so I had to use a dictionary. Lol.⁣
Thank God for Kindles and their built in dictionaries.⁣
⁣
What else can I say, I loved this and I'm going to read more from this author, 100%.⁣

I'm currently reading The Poppy War and was not it

I'm currently reading The Poppy War and was not it expecting this to be Grimdark. Fantasy, yes. Grimdark, no. While I am enjoying this book, the content it was is not easy to read. There are violence and drug use. Some themes that others may not be comfortable with. But the writings, the mythology, the politics, all of these were done so well by the author. I'm so happy that more asian inspired books are now coming out. I am here for all of them!⁣

I just finished Nimona by @gingerhazing yesterday and really liked it. I thought the art was great and I really fell in love with the characters, especially Blackheart. He is such a sweetie pie and a marshmallow. ❤⁣

I don't think I'll be able to complete it this month. Maybe I'll try in October. Has anyone else read this? What did you think about it?⁣

I finally decided to let go of my two Magnus Chase

I finally decided to let go of my two Magnus Chase books. Unfortunately, this pandemic hasn't been easy for me and my family. So sad to let this go but sadly it is necessary. ⁣
⁣
Did you guys read this book? Was it your favorite Rick Riordan series?⁣
