This is my second Dead Djinn Universe prequel and so far I am having the same experience--I enjoy the way P. Djèlí Clark writes and worldbuilding but something that just doesn't leap off the page and spark my attention. I look at the glowing reviews that talk about the prose, characters, worldbuilding, and politics, and I find myself nodding along. Clark's words in Julian Thomas' mouth are a true delight. Everything here tells me that I should adore these books and I absolutely have no idea why I don't. I want to, but my brain just starts sliding off and I spend the majority of the books drifting off and barely paying attention. I objectively know these are better than my subjective experience and that it's seems to be a skill issue on my part, but I'm 2/2 with the same results, so I have genuinely tried. This was a charming adventure story with A worldbuilding. I'm not a big reader of adventure fiction, but gearpunk paranormal fantasy set in a glamorous, multi-ethnic, postcolonial Cairo? All of these are adjectives I want in my SFF. Hamed and Onsi are a fun buddy cop duo, and I adored the feminist elements - an intersectional Egyptian women's suffrage movement and an exploration of female magic and spirituality. I did have trouble settling into Clark's prose style for the first couple chapters, but once I got invested in the story I was fine with it. I think Clark's long sentences makes my inner editor hypervigilant, perhaps because I am also prone to long sentences full of clauses. However, I'm not convinced this is actually a fault in his writing. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Cairo, 1912. The case started simply enough for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities: handle a possessed tram car. Soon, however, Agent Hamed Nasr and his new partner, Agent Onsi Youssef, are exposed to another side of Cairo stirring with suffragettes, secret societies, and sentient automatons. It's a race against time to protect the city from an encroaching danger that crosses the line between the magical and mundane. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
