Review "A Master of Djinn"

Read the German translation.

Really enjoyed reading this book. Cool characters, nice overall story arc, some plot twists/revelations that felt good and generally a very cool setting.

Didn't like some of the "crowd manipulations" which felt a bit superficial.

I really recommend to read some of the shorter stories in the universe before. They are a neat introduction into a setting and some characters that can feel a bit overwhelming.
