This book is an awesome steampunk fantasy set in Cairo, featuring a murder mystery, a mythical figure who’s meant to be long dead, the youngest female agent in a supernatural Ministry who wears suits exclusively, chaotic djinn, and multiple powerful women. I had an awesome time in this alternative world, and I can see why it won the Locus and Nebula awards in 2022! A must-read if you love detective stories, fantasy, and queer characters. - Zoë
