I love short stories, and these collections that the Zon has been putting out have been really good.  This story had it all in 30 pages.  An interesting back-story and rich history, a confused protagonist, a djinn, big bads, and a need to save the history and stories of the ancestors. 

Definitely going to recommend this collection!
