The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury
4.0
I've just read a sneak peek of this book and I AM DESPERATE FOR MORE!
For everybody freaking out about how incredible this book sounds: it does NOT disappoint.
From the opening sentence, Khoury weaves magic with her words. You BECOME the Jinnni, and her frustrations and loneliness become yours, as do her hope.
I adore Aladdin - so fallible, and so tangible.
I read the first chapter to my boyfriend (who does NOT read) and he was spellbound. He, too, couldn't wait for the next chapter!
"Wishes are born in the will of men and women, and it is the true and pure source of power all humans hold."
