I am so glad I read this book so soon! When I read the description of the book it sounded good enough to read but I really didn't expect it to be one I would really enjoy. I was so wrong, I wish the description of the book was as well written as the book was because I would have read it sooner. I really expected a juvenile book about genie's and flying carpets but it was not juvenile at all. It was such an original take on magic and fantasy. The story is fun and interesting with so many twists that it keeps you guessing the whole story. There were only a few things about the story that bugged me a little that is very common in many fantasy stories. Sara the 15 year old main character falls so in love with a Turkish boy in a matter of hours that she risks her life and basically the fate of humans and other species or magical beings for him. It just seems a little much for a 15 year old girl to feel in a matter of hours and days but at least the romance never got out of hand or overly mushy. But everything else about the story was fantastic! It was such a page turner I didn't even realize when I was at the end, I turned the page and it was blank. I am pretty sure this is going to be the first of a series, I can't wait to read the next book even though it will be a while because this one isn't even for sale yet. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes YA fantasy. Don't judge the book by whats written on the back it's so much better than it sounds, I don't think this book will disappoint very many people at all!

Brenda I remember reading a lot of Christopher Pike in my teen years. I wonder how good his newer books are. I also wonder if I'd still like the ones I read when I was younger.


Felicia What other ones did he write?


Brenda I don't even remember. If you click on his name, you can see a list of all the books he wrote. There are a bunch that were published back in the late 80's and 90's.


Felicia So far I like it a lot, I expected it to be more juvenile and not hold my attention but I'm really glad I am reading it.
