Maître des djinns

The setting feels so rich and immersive, but I wonder what inspired the choice to set this story firmly in that specific time and place while adding supernatural elements.

I was constantly guessing and loved how the plot twists kept me on my toes. Were there clues I missed or was it all about the surprise?

The way traditions and history are woven into the magic system adds depth, but I wonder if that representation was carefully curated or evolved during writing.
