Book description
Imagine Cairo in 1912, where magic isn't myth but a tangible force woven into the city's very streets. P. Djèlí Clark's A Master of Djinn-a Nebula and Hugo Award finalist-arrives as a stunning debut novel, perfectly realized in audiobook form. Narrator Soneela Nankani immerses you instantly in Fatma el-Sha'arawi's world: the youngest agent at the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities, already a seasoned resolver of cosmic crises. Now, a chilling murder threatens to unravel the city itself.
When a secret brotherhood dedicated to the legendary al-Jahiz is slaughtered, Fatma must confront a chilling imposter claiming to be the very man who shattered the veil between magic and reality forty years prior. His return isn't just a mystery-it's a dangerous spark igniting social unrest across Cairo. Nankani's performance captures Fatma's sharp intelligence and quiet resolve, her voice navigating the bustling markets, whispered conspiracies, and the palpable tension of a city teetering on revolution. The audiobook's strength lies in its atmosphere: the clatter of tram cars, the scent of spices, the low thrum of magic beneath the surface. You hear Cairo breathe.
Clark masterfully blends historical intrigue with richly imagined fantasy. The stakes feel immediate-this isn't just a murder case, but a battle over the soul of a city and the fragile peace between worlds. Nankani's nuanced delivery elevates every interaction, from Fatma's tense exchanges with Ministry colleagues to a surprising reunion with a figure from her past. The audiobook makes the political weight of al-Jahiz's return felt, as his rhetoric echoes the very real social oppressions of the era, making the magic feel urgent and deeply human.
This isn't just a mystery; it's a vibrant, meticulously crafted world where every detail serves the story. The multiple award recognition (Nebula, Locus, Alex Award) isn't just accolades-it's a testament to how Clark's vision resonates. The audiobook version, with its immersive narration, turns the reader into a witness, walking Cairo's streets alongside Fatma as she races against time. You'll feel the weight of history, the thrill of discovery, and the quiet courage of a woman navigating a world determined to limit her. A Master of Djinn isn't merely a debut-it's a landmark, perfectly voiced, and utterly unforgettable.
