A Dead Djinn in Cairo

The vivid historical details made me curious about how much research went into blending real events with fantasy. Was the setting chosen to reflect specific themes or messages?

The story felt like more than just supernatural intrigue — it seemed to critique power structures of the time. How did the author balance historical accuracy with the fantastical elements?

There were so many rich details about the city’s culture and politics. I wonder if the author drew directly from real historical lore or crafted it from imagination.
