Very hot 🥵 I love anything Aladdin or 1001 Nights-related, but this dark, mafia romance scratched an itch I didn’t know I had! I liked the writing style and the artwork in this deluxe version was breathtaking. I think the character development is solid and it was great to see Yasmina go from a passive, reactive player to a dynamic character shaping her own future. I do wish there was a bit more build up with the antagonist. The book is mainly about the romance and play between Jafar and Yasmina, but the true villain meets his end satisfyingly enough.
