J.A. Pak’s Romance of the Three Jinns is one of the more intriguing fantasy books I’ve read this year.
Initially, the book starts out like many YA tales of fantasy: girl finds herself supernatural, and the boy of her dreams, too. But that’s just the start. In fact, the book may be more about how one’s values and sensibilities change with maturity.
One thing in common with YA books, the main character learns to define herself and her personal power. But this is done in such a striking way—losing and gaining, growing and stepping away from everything, fear and courage (gained and lost over and over), adapting to whole new worlds—one never feels the stale tropes of current YA fantasy.
Don’t expect this to be a nice little mindless adventure tale. This is lyrical, thoughtful, enchanting, with a wonderful depth. A truly terrific story and imaginative characters.
