Now I wonder if there's some cool fantasy mixing European elf stuff with islamic motives (maybe djinn?).

@modulux I'm sure there must be or maybe outside English and probably in the Balkans (on account of their regional mix) but I, being a very laaaaaaaate reader to contemporary fiction, have no clue. I do know of this novel, The Golem and the Jinni! But haven't started on it yet 💀

Oooh that one sounds promising. The city of Brass has djinn, but no elves.
