Normally, I don’t like romance-heavy books I find they lack character development and plot. Saving herself would mean betraying Aladdin, but is winning her freedom worth losing her heart?Īs much as I love fairy tale retellings, I had a lot of doubts going into this book. Zahra never planned to fall in love with Aladdin along the way. She can trick Aladdin to use one of his wishes to become a prince in order to achieve that. All she has to do is get into the palace. Until her new master has selected his three wishes, Zahra must disguise herself and hide her magic to stay alive.īut when the king of the Jinn offers Zahra a chance to be free of her lamp forever, she seizes the opportunity. When Aladdin discovers Zahra’s jinni lamp in a lost underground chamber, Zahra is thrust back into a world she hasn’t seen in hundreds of years, only to discover that magic is now forbidden and even Zahra’s existence is illegal.
