If you like fantasy with characters that might sound like your neighbors sometimes, in a world with big stakes and little stakes and magical talking animals who deliver the mail, and especially if you like epistolary novels that lead to characters becoming more of themselves, you’ll like this undertaking. (Bad dum bum.)
A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark is $2.99! I hope this isn’t a leftover deal that’s about to expire. I picked this one for a previous Hide Your Wallet. Historical fantasy mystery with a badass main character and a supportive girlfriend.

Mostly, it made me swoon and laugh in equal measure – a great stress read!
