Djinn is a continuation/ reimagining of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and this story reinterprets what a djinn is. Kromah defines 'djinn' as any supernatural creature that can conceal its appearance to humans and cites the fae, Mami Wata, gnomes, and werewolves as examples of djinn. It made the world confusing because I didn't know which parts of djinn lore I was already familiar with applied and which didn't, and at a certain point, it felt like they were djinn in name only. I was intrigued by the idea of Mami Wata being djinn because I hadn't seen those lores crossed, but they were peripheral to this story. Kromah's world is mostly an amalgamation of djinn and fae folklore, and I found it generic.

On the whole, this story felt very YA trope-y. There's insta-love, love triangles, she's not like other girls, and the new kid v the bully. The writing was a little choppy and made some of the characters' actions feel jarring. Additionally, there are so many twists and internal politics that it was difficult to keep track of why the reveals mattered and why people were upset with each other. That said, it was a quick read, and my issues with the story didn't bog down my ability to get through it. If you're into YA fantasy and like the listed tropes, you might enjoy this.
