This book was actually discovered while I was working at the library in town. One of the patrons was looking for books that was part of the series and I was kind of curious what it was all about. I'm all for a twisted version of a familiar tale. I don't know much about this book other than it is Aladin themed and it was in the point of view where Jafar finds the lamp instead of Aladin. I can't wait to see what this book is going to be like. I don't know what to expect but I am sure it will be interesting.

So far this book is interesting. It is defiantly a different perspective of the Aladin we all grew up with. Which I really like. I'm actually breezing through this book because I want to keep listening to it. I want to know how they overcome the conflict that they are facing. How do you free a genie from someone who is abusing the power they were given? I am at the part where they are still working on a plan to free the genie from Jafar. I'm not sure how they are going to do this but I can't wait to find out.

I'm giving this book three out of five stars. Why? It is an interesting concept with having the Aladin we know in a different perspective. It is interesting to see how the main characters had to figure out how to defeat an all powerful sorcerer. But the story does drag on in some parts. The ending is also not as fulfilling as I feel like it should be. Even if it is a happy ending in some way. But if you want a retelling of a Disney movie, this is probably a book for you. I do look forward to listening to other books that are a part of this series. I'm curious how those other stories will play out with their villains. But it probably won't be for a while because I have a list I need to work through.
