2/5⭐ On paper, this book sounds great: powerful women, magic, a slow-burn romance, high stakes all around, a lush Middle Eastern setting. The beginning was promising, but by halfway through I was bored of the fluff and hadn't connected to the main characters very much. #roll100

I sense the boy the moment he sets foot in the cave.
For the first time in centuries, I stir.
I am smoke in the lamp, and I curl and stretch, shaking off the lethargy of five hundred years.

Well, I accomplished half of my goal - I finished The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury! I also made good progress on The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd and started Uprooted by Naomi Novik. Only reading 2 books at a time is working for me right now.

This was a fun retelling of Aladdin. There are strong heroines, a sweet love story, and magic.
The book is from the jinni's point of view and I quite enjoyed how the author told the jinni's thoughts.

The plot moved along quickly and it did seem a bit rushed at points. It is a stand alone so while it could have been fleshed out more, I have been in the mood for one offs and not being tied to a series.

4/5 for this one! This was such a good retelling. It was a great mix of the classic and the more modern takes on Arabian nights. The romance between Zara and Aladdin was perfect. I loved the storyline in this one.

Clearing out some of my backlog from the TBR shelf. I should have listened to this a long time ago...because I really enjoyed this reimagining of the tale of Aladdin and the Jinni, also the fantastic narration by Cassandra Campbell didn't hurt either. With familiar yet unique characters and an engaging, storyline, I was totally there for this.

✨How is everybody‘s weekend going? It‘s been very busy for me, but good. 😀I haven‘t had time to read and that makes me feel all out of sorts. Plus my extremely long TBR is staring me in the face and starting to stress me out recently. There‘s too many books that I want to read! I‘m trying not to get too stressed about it though. Maybe I‘ll have time later tonight to read. I don‘t really need sleep, right? LOL! ✨ #theforbiddenwish #jessicakhoury

Strong heroine, swoon worthy hero and a fantastic twist to an already brilliant tale. The style of writing made the story come alive. Turning the last page and seeing THE END was the only disappointment I got from this book.

I listened to this on audiobook through my library and I liked it. Sometimes I had a hard time staying focused but it was a pleasant retelling of Alladin. 3.5/5 stars

I'm enjoying the Alladin retelling aspect of this book. I am borrowing as an e-audio via my library app "Libby". I still have about 4 hours left but I'm liking it so far.

#jubilantjuly day 6: A Whole New World. Considering I have been reading a lot of fantasy lately everything is a whole new world. Even books I'd never have picked up, such as #thefireman are a new world to me. #scribeofsiena #theforbiddenwish #aladdin

This book is definitely more of a tween love story... great message about doing what's right even if that's not what is easy.

It's a retelling of Aladdin. I used to think that Aladdin's djinn was huge, scary and male, but Zahra was beautiful and clever. Though, too much romance for my liking :(

[This is Indonesian Ver.]

I just finished it in 12 hours after 2 days delayed. And, yeah, this book quite good but not good enough to become my favorite. But, in some parts, I would tell that I like (or love) this book. For mini review, I'll post in my instagram tomorrow
