I just finished "Cyber Mage" by @saadzhossain, which is a sequel to "Djinn City" from 2017. The books are a great read, fantastic plots, good mix of magic & modern technology, suspense and romance. It reminded me of Snow Crash, if that had Djinn in it, and was set in Bangladesh.

Am reading "The River of Silver" by @SAChakrabooks and am so happy to be reunited with so many of the old friends from the Daevabad books. The series is such an amazing set of books, filled with love and magic and wonder, in new and fresh ways. Magic exists, it is called writing.
