PURE ENCHANTMENT.!!!!!!!!! Here is one that is a fun read, and, most certainly a guilty pleasure. The story is a rich tapestry full of color and imagery, capturing the imagination, as the character of a mischievous and
meddlesome beautiful Genie captures the heart.
Wonderful book, very enjoyable.

Expected better I found that the heroine was to stubbern for her own good. Imean after her father ... she expected to live her life all alone andin those times it just was not posible. I also could not figure outwhat attracted the hero to her in the first place. She never gave himthe curtices he deserved then somehow by the end of the book they arein love. I comend books with strong female personas but this one hadtoo much. ....Disappointed in attitudes, but still a good story I was disappointed in the way the men in this book looked at women. I know that some men looked at women that way during the time period this book was written in, but to have the author come out and say that the father valued is books and work more than his child was almost too much for me. Then when the "hero" took the same attitude I was ready to scream. This book did have its good points in that the story was interesting about how they traveled all over to get to her " long lost relative" for the sake of a crystal ball, only to discover that they had been thrown in prision. So they end up traveling to his home in England where they finally find peace and the older magician the "hero" sets out to find. It really was an enjoyable story once I got past the attitudes of the men.THE CHARACTERS ARE DULL AND UNINVITING. I WAS DISAPPOINTED FIRST BECAUSE THE BOOK IS VERY SLOW MOVING. ALSO IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CONNECTED TO THE CHARACTERS BECAUSE THEY ARE WRITTEN WITHOUT PASSION OR SPIRIT. THE BOOK WOULD HAVE SERVED BETTER TO HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE JINNI AND ROBIN. THOSE TWO WERE INTERESTIN AND HAVE A CHEMISTRY. THANK YOU.Different kind of love! An intriguing new take and definitely worth a read. Can't wait to read the next in the trilogy!
