![]() ![]() During their trip to his lands they quarrel, she tries to escape numerous times - despite not knowing where she was or where she wanted to go. The djinn, of course, is incredibly handsome, and she, of course, finds out she has djinn blood, which makes her a halfbreed. The story soon degenerated into a very puerile 'she hates him, but she has tingles in her lower stomach when she looks at him' triteness. ![]() But all she wants to do is escape him to regain her "freedom" (why? she has nothing to go back to - if the author had taken the time to give her something real to go back to I might have understood, as it was, the heroine just comes off as a fool). Then one day, she accidently conjures a djinn, a powerful, supernatural being, who rescues her from certain death and carries her off on a flying carpet towards his land, where, he assures her, she will be honored and be able to realize her dream of becoming a healer. Because of her inate talents, she would make an excellent physician, but it is a futile dream. ![]() The heroine is clever and ambitious, but she lives in a world where women cannot become healers. ![]() Did the reviewers read the whole thing? It certainly started out well, with fabulous worldbuilding and a wealth of lovely description. I wonder at the rave reviews for this book. ![]()
