Welcome to Litsy!

OK fantasy adventure that mimics the Harry Potter style. This time it's with the Djinn legends of the Middle East (genies in a bottle, etc.) and Egyptian myths. Was sort of a slow read but still enjoyable. Others have seen some fat-shaming and somewhat racist parts to it, but I did not notice it. The twins (John and Philippa) are not very well fleshed out as characters but Uncle Nimrod is an outsized fun type. Worthwhile for most fantasy lovers

The main idea of this novel caught my attention: No vampires or werewolves, whatsoever. The main protagonists are djinn. I really like that. But it took half of the book for the story to accelerate and the end was kind of abrupt and not satisfying.

Seems like I'm not the only one reading on the way to work. 😊
