Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed – Review by Naomi McDonald

Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

These are new authors to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This story is a retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, but with a steampunk twist. I felt like it started off a bit slow. Once it picked up, I enjoyed the adventure. I loved the way the Djinn elements were re-imagined, and the mix of mechanics and magic. It’s a slow burn story, but definitely a good read.
