I haven’t had a chance to read this book yet this year, but I’m looking forward based on the fact that, as far as the reviews go, the universe Clark presents is a mixture of science fiction and fantasy, where humans live alongside these supernatural entities. It reminds me a lot of something like “Harry Potter” but the setting is what attracted me most, since while it’s supposed to take place in 1912 Cairo, I feel as though the setting is probably more complicated than that, due to the “fantasy” nature of the story. I could be judging the book more on its cover than anything. And maybe not, I’m not sure. But I do look forward to finding out once I read this story.
