It wasn't great but I thought it was good and I did enjoy it. :)Stormihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157799090129414984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-40813936326222033272015-08-22T17:49:44.220-04:002015-08-22T17:49:44.220-04:00That is too bad that the characters aren't mor...That is too bad that the characters aren't more developed but this does sound really interesting. I'll have to add this to my TBR and I'm really excited to see that this is a series. I'm looking forward to seeing what story they tackle next!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-21041178942343612162015-08-20T21:55:50.043-04:002015-08-20T21:55:50.043-04:00I suspect they wanted to keep the focus on Jasmine...I suspect they wanted to keep the focus on Jasmine and Aladdin but by making Jafar the focal point for the changes and the reason for the revolution, they should have spent more time on him and developed him more fully.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455117466213636141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-58986767520624382402015-08-20T21:54:09.586-04:002015-08-20T21:54:09.586-04:00I'll be curious to see what you think of it.I'll be curious to see what you think of it.

I tend to overlook the original stories when I read twisted fairytales because that is the point of them not to retell the story but make it completely different with a hint of the original. Your review has made me want to read it sooner. <Michelle@Because Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726143709224948260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-68674779660629428862015-08-18T01:03:33.138-04:002015-08-18T01:03:33.138-04:00Yes.

I can see it would be too much for some people but it worked for me.

I like that this is different and is more intense. Lover Of Romancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815249440754171341noreply@blogger.com
